Schools, colleges and FE providers have been told to raid their own coffers to support exams students affected by this week’s train strike.
The RMT rail union confirmed yesterday that industrial action over pay, jobs and conditions will go ahead as planned today, on Thursday and on Saturday. There will also be a strike on the London Underground today.
The strikes coincide with GCSE and A-level exams, with several papers scheduled to be sat on Tuesday and Thursday.
Although the vast majority of students travel to school or college by car, bus or on foot, many use trains, especially in urban areas.
