- Good morning and welcome to our live blog on the day that teachers walk out over pay across the UK, including in the North East.
- We'll be keeping you updated about what is happening on the pickets lines across the region, and follow our other coverage for a list of all of the schools that will be closed or partly closed today due to the industrial action.
- If you are striking today, have any pictures or have an opinion on the strikes, get in touch by commenting on this blog or email patrick.gouldsbrough@newsquest.co.uk.
