More than 200,000 desperate teachers abandoned classrooms for picket lines to demand better for Britain’s children.
Nine in ten schools in England and Wales were hit by strikes, according to one poll today.
Teachers joined university staff, train drivers, civil servants, bus drivers and security guards in the biggest day of industrial action in more than a decade. They told the Mirror how they were exhausted, overworked and in an industry left “short-changed” by more than a decade of underfunding by the Tories.
