Education unions to announce they will co-ordinate industrial action going forward.

Government funding plans for 2022/23 to 2024/25 leave schools more or less exactly where they started.

The Sutton Trust report highlights the dire situation schools and colleges find themselves in due to decades of Government underfunding.

This statement is a necessary recognition of the urgent need for a better approach to school inspection.

NEU members in sixth form colleges have voted overwhelmingly in a re-ballot to take industrial action to win an acceptable fully funded pay rise for 2022/23. This result once again demonstrates the resolve of NEU members to win a fair pay rise.

The Prime Minister’s ambition will be thwarted, though, unless he faces up to the reality of the state of education in England.

The government must do more to strengthen the rights of pregnant women, bereaved parents, new mothers and women returning to work.

NEU will continue the robust and sustained national campaign to defend independent members in the face of a relentless attack on their pensions and contractual rights.

A strategy for agency workers will challenge unfair Government proposals – such as the threat to AWR - and campaign for tighter monitoring.

The NEU will continue to campaign for abortion rights so that women have a right to choose and have access to the reproductive healthcare that they need.

NEU condemns the Strike Bill, which would allow the Secretary of State to override a lawful democratic decision for strike action.
