SCHOOL staff in Wales would quit their roles if the Welsh government goes ahead with changes to school holidays, their union said today.

The Welsh government is consulting on proposals to shorten the school summer holiday by one week and lengthen the October half-term by a similar amount.

But a Unison Cymru survey of nearly 3,000 school support staff found they wanted ministers to prioritise dealing with staff shortages, low pay and increased workloads.
