NASUWT disputes government claims
The UK's NASUWT teaching union says it stands by the findings of a survey it conducted among its Manx members.
It found 82 per cent of them here had been verbally abused and nine per cent had been threatened or physically attacked by pupils outside of school hours.
The sample size has been criticised by the Department of Education and Children and other teaching unions, who have claimed the report isn't accurately representative of what's going on over here.
But NASUWT National Executive Member Damien McNulty disputes that:
Lessons learned after snow day confusion
More than 100 firearms surrendered
Planning application to extend TT hospitality tent for new Food and Drink Festival submitted
'No tangible positives' achieved by public sector integrity line, says trade union
