    LONDON, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Up to half a million British teachers, civil servants, and train drivers walked out over pay in the largest coordinated strike action for a decade on Wednesday, with unions threatening more disruption as the government digs its heels in over pay demands.
    According to unions, as many as 300,000 teachers took part, the biggest group involved, as part of wider action by 500,000 people, the highest number since 2011, when civil servants walked out en masse. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned the strikes which forced millions of children to miss school.
    Teachers, train drivers and civil servants will on Wednesday join the biggest day of strike action in the UK since 2011 as ministers continue to resist unions’ demands to boost public sector pay. About 150,000 teachers are expected to walk out across England and Wales, affecting more than eight in 10 schools.
    Most state school teachers in England had a 5% rise in 2022. Junior doctors who are members of the British Medical Association (BMA) union are on strike over pay too. The BMA says junior doctor roles have seen pay cut by 26% once inflation is taken into account since 2008.
