Teachers are having to buy resources for their schools and pupils despite struggling with low pay during the cost of living crisis due to a lack of investment.
Thousands of teachers and civil servants gathered in Belfast City Hall for a rally as part of strike action across Northern Ireland on Wednesday, April 26, where they called on the Secretary of State and UK Government to meet with them over pay, investment and working conditions.
The industrial action has been the largest seen in Northern Ireland in more than 10 years.
