We should be developing a curriculum for children and young people that supports the democratic values of a diverse Britain.
Ofsted causes more harm than good and we need urgent and fundamental reform.
The NEU values the early years sector. It’s about time the government did too.
Seven in eight respondents tell us the SEND resources they do have are insufficient.
The majority of teachers are struggling with workload.
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.
This Government’s solution to its failure to hit its own teacher training targets is to move the goalposts.
