Teachers back on picket lines in long-running dispute over pay
Members of the National Education Union (NEU) take part in a rally through Westminster to Parliament Square, London, as teachers stage walkouts across England in an ongoing dispute over pay, July 5, 2023

INCOMING National Education Union (NEU) head Daniel Kebede said striking teachers will win because “we have justice on our side,” during a huge rally in central London today.

The ex-primary and secondary teacher, who is set to take charge of Britain’s biggest teaching union in September, was one of many speakers to address thousands of educators in Parliament Square.

The rally, which followed a march across Westminster Bridge and a demo outside the Department for Education, came as NEU members held a seventh day of strike action across England’s schools since February.
