Teachers at Newham Sixth Form College (NewVIc) are exercising their right to strike in a series of stoppages to highlight worries over teaching conditions and the future of the college.
Selected staff among the 102 National Education Union (NEU) members at the college have held 12 days of strike action in December and January.
Talks with college management are taking place, but the stoppages will continue “until we reach a resolution with management,” said local lecturer and NEU Representative, Robert Behan.
The strikers say they are taking action over bad college management practices, academisation, and working practices that harm students’ studies. They say these policies and practices are harmful to teachers and students.
