Striking teachers have brought central London to a standstill as they march on Westminster, with 23,000 schools partially or fully shut
Teachers marched on Westminster to demand a pay rise and better conditions on Wednesday morning, with colleagues across the UK also on strike.
"You see it when it comes to having help for kids with special education needs, the lack of people available to help out the kids who are really in need," he said."There's no money to get more teaching assistants and LSAs into schools at the moment. I would say that's probably the number one impact that's felt," he told the PA news agency.
"But really that should be every lesson, maybe in the past it would have been like that, but it's just not happening at the moment." “My responsibility is to… make sure our children get a world-class education, and to do that we need to make sure we recruit the best and retain the best teachers," she added.
James Hibbard, a head of year at Myton School, Warwick, where National Education Union members were striking on Wednesday, believed an agreement with the government would not be forthcoming before a second strike involving members in the north of England on February 28. It came on the same day as almost no trains ran, with drivers at 14 railway companies, members of the Aslef union, striking on Wednesday.
