Teachers are once again set to take part in strike action in an ongoing pay dispute with the Government, with schools across the country set to be impacted by the move.
Members of the National Education Union (NEU) are taking the action as they call on the Government to give teaching staff an above-inflation pay rise amid the cost of living crisis. It comes after staff walked out in their hundreds for seven days of industrial action earlier this month in the biggest strike of its kind in a decade.
The walkout on February 28 is expected to be followed by further industrial action in March if the union's demands to the Government are not met. Many schools across the North East will be affected by the most recent action, with closures or partial closures taking place across the region on Tuesday.
