More than 150,000 teachers back NEU call for schools and colleges to close
MORE than 150,000 teachers and education staff have backed the National Education Union (NEU’s) call for schools to close during England’s second coronavirus lockdown from Thursday.
The union is demanding that the lockdown Bill include an amendment to close schools and colleges before it is voted on in Parliament on Wednesday.
Its campaign was launched on Saturday, after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that there will be a lockdown initially lasting a month.
