The union representing Ontario's Catholic teachers says it will hold a province-wide strike next Thursday after foregoing this week's walkout.
The Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association says it suspended this week's strike to demonstrate its commitment to good-faith bargaining.
But it says it will resume the practice now that contract talks have once again broken down.
Next Thursday's strike will mark the fourth province-wide walkout for the union.
The most recent one-day strike saw Catholic teachers join elementary, high school and French-language educators in a provincewide walkout, the largest such job action in more than 20 years.
All four unions have been negotiating new collective agreements with the province since September.
