Why are some teachers striking today? Read more here:
Children and parents in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have faced more disruption as teachers returned to picket lines.
The government said a "good offer" had been made to teachers over pay, but NEU members dismissed it as "insulting". Teachers' pay has dropped by 11% between 2010 and 2022, after taking inflation into account, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. Andrew Campbell, a special needs teacher at Wykebeck Primary School in Gipton, said budgets were already tight and he had been without a working white board in his classroom for two months.He said next year, however, Year 7 pupils from secondary school might have to be placed within his primary school class because there was not enough provision elsewhere to offer help for pupils with special needs.
In Lincoln, teachers joined a picket line outside Lincoln Christ's Hospital School, led by NEU secretary Ken Rustidge.He added: "There is a recruitment and retention crisis and my members are telling me they are being forced to teach subjects they are not specialists in, and that's not good for the pupils."
