NEU sixth form members have voted overwhelmingly in favour of taking strike action in their dispute over pay and funding.

Reading for pleasure is an essential part of children’s literacy, wellbeing, and all-round development.

The additional funding announced today is a welcome injection, but still falls short of what is needed to rebuild education, including the investment needed to reverse pay cuts and tackle sky high workload.

Educators suffered huge pay cuts under the Conservatives. Investing properly in education, including reversing the pay cuts, is essential to delivering the economic growth the Prime Minister talked about.

The education sector has been devastated by fourteen years of neglect and mismanagement leaving the new Government a mountain to climb.

Labour are right to acknowledge that we need to be investing in school buildings. This £1.4 billion is a welcome first step, but more is needed.

We must, together, tackle the barriers facing Black teachers.

The continuing crisis in college funding has had a dire effect on pay.

This clearly shows how the current assessment system in primary schools puts pressure on children and staff and doesn’t provide reliable or useful data.

This is a wake-up call about the scale of the SEND crisis and the level of ambition required to fix it.

We are pleased this Government is prioritising reducing child poverty.

The Government has an opportunity to undo fourteen years of chaos in school management and planning.
