By David McKenna & Oliver WrightHundreds of teachers have marched through Leeds to protest over pay and conditions as strike action took place across northern England.
"In the absence of anything for us to take to membership for consideration, we are unable to agree to these demands."According to the NEU, picket lines were manned across the region, including in Hull, North Lincolnshire, Calderdale and East Riding, as well as in Richmond, North Yorkshire, Rishi Sunak's own constituency.
More than half of schools in England closed or partially closed in the first NEU strike on 1 February. "Children deserve to be in school, and further strike action is simply unforgivable, especially after everything children have been through because of the pandemic."Greg - a 32-year-old project manager from Sheffield - said his daughter Daisy, 12, and son Harry, seven, would both be off school as a result of the strike.
