Schools face further disruption as teachers walk out across England in the latest strike over pay.

Iran PressEurope: Members of the National Education Union (NEU) are taking action on Friday, with ministers being warned that industrial unrest could escalate in the autumn term unless there is movement on teachers’ salaries.

The Department for Education said the action would cause disruption to pupils and parents and result in the cancellation of children’s end-of-term events.

It is the second day of action this week, following Wednesday’s strike, which resulted in many schools being either fully closed or restricted access to certain groups of pupils.
