Gareth Young left teaching but supports his former colleagues
A former teacher says those educators striking this week are 'making a stand to be heard'.
Today (WEDNESDAY) marks the second phase of the NASUWT's industrial action – the union is striking in a row over better pay and conditions.
A number of schools and year groups are affected by the walkout.
Teachers will also strike tomorrow.
Gareth Young says the action isn't unexpected after years of trying to find other solutions:
