Victoria can expect major statewide disruptions today as teachers and education support staff walk off the job in their second major strike action of the year.

State schools will effectively be closed during today's major strike action, with thousands expected to take part once again.

Roughly 35,000 educators and supporters marched through Melbourne's CBD in March as part of the 24-hour strike.

The strike comes after Australian Education Union (AEU) members voted to reject the state government's latest pay offer on the weekend.
