Pupils sent home as teacher strike continues
Hundreds of pupils at a secondary school in Northern Ireland were sent home today after teachers went on strike as a dispute over a pupil who assaulted a teacher deepened.
Some 25 teachers at Moville High School in Newtownards, Co Down – all members of the NASUWT union – were backing the indefinite action, claiming they had been unfairly penalised for refusing to teach the boy.
