YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSky News speaks to shadow education minister Neil O'Brien after our independent investigation revealed that almost one in five secondary school teachers in England have seen students with knives in schools.
Mr O'Brien said: "So much more needs to be done about disorder and violence within our schools, both to keep our kids safe but also to keep good teachers in the profession."
He added: "It's one of the main things that drives teachers out of teaching in state schools and so that is why we are pressing to amend the schools bill and keep trying to do that as it goes through the House of Lords"
