Reducing child poverty must be at the centre of any credible plan to deliver good educational and life outcomes for more young people.
The current curriculum is not fit for the challenges and realities of our times.
A damning indictment of the Government’s failure to invest in education.
School inspection in its current form is a risk to health and well-being.
NEU calls out the Government for failure to invest in education and delaying the school teacher pay review body process in England.
82% of teachers surveyed believe Ofsted should be replaced with a new system of inspection.
Clearly, the best place for students is in school but there are many factors causing our current absence figures.
These figures only refer to the capacity of each school and do not even consider the staffing crisis within schools, where we know recruitment targets are missed year after year.
We urgently need a child poverty strategy setting out clear policy objectives to tackle the prevalence of child poverty.
ASCL, Community, NAHT, NASUWT and NEU have issued a united call for a fully funded, inflation-plus pay increase to tackle the recruitment and retention crisis.
Unless this and any future Government addresses teacher pay, workload and school funding we shall only see the teacher recruitment and retention crisis deepen.
