Classroomswill seem a lot more empty this week as three of Ontario's main education unions plan strikes that will close schoolsacross the province.

Elementary school studentswill have at least two days off this week as the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO) holds a province-wide strike on Tuesday and continuesrotatingstrikes targeting different school boards throughout the week.

In Ottawa, that means three days off for English public elementary students because of a PA day on Friday.

High school students in select public school boards will be off Thursday as teachers and education workers represented by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF) hold a one-day walkout.

Students attending two French-language school boardsin the Ottawa area will also be off Thursday as teachers from the Association des enseignantes et des enseignants franco-ontariens (AEFO) join the fray and hold their first one-day walk out of the year.

The Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association (OECTA) hasnot announced any strike plans this week, although starting Tuesday members will be "enhancing" their administrative job action.

It was also announced Wednesday that all boards will be striking next Friday, Feb. 21.
