Glasgow high school teachers to strike over failure to protect them from 'violent' pupils

Teachers at a Glasgow school will be taking part in 12 days of strike action over the council's alleged failure to protect them against violent and disruptive pupils.

The first strike by the teachers' union NASUWT will be held at Bannerman High School on November 24 with another 11 days planned in the run-up to Christmas. The union has said they have engaged with the school for a year over the perceived safety issues.

The union claim that staff have been 'shoved and threatened' with one pupil 'brandishing' a screwdriver at the school, reports the Daily Record. A source told the paper that the problem only relates to a small number of pupils.
