STRIKE SCHOOLS.
The first of the unofficial schools to be started in Lowestoft by the National Union of Teachers for the 163 local leaehers who were dismissed when they went on strike against salaries reductions was recently opened. The union has taken over the old Cunningham school building, near the borough boundary, which has been closed as a school for about 20 years. It is slated that the National Union of Teachers have their eye on several other closed schools. “The Cunningham school was closed on’ the Board of Education deciding no longer to recognise it,” said Councillor Adams, chairman of the education committee. “It is a rural school, and it is not the sort of place I would like to see children educated in.” There are now only 200 or 300 deliberate abstentions from the official schools, which have a normal attendance of 3350.
