With sister unions, we have written to Bridget Phillipson calling for her to revise her teacher pay offer for next year. We will not accept another real terms pay cut for teachers or the continued underfunding of our schools. 🔗 bit.ly/3JF5UGL

School spending on supply teaching has doubled since the pandemic. That’s public money leaving classrooms and going to agencies. #StopTheAgencyRipOff ✍️ Write to your MP to demand change. 👉 bit.ly/4777aKx

The EBacc has been scrapped, moving us towards parity between subjects. This is a win for our union, and a win we should be proud of. We need to see action on accountability tools such as Progress 8 from the Government to make parity between subjects a reality.

Our members know that testing doesn’t drive up standards. The Government still has time to scrap primary statutory assessments. Read our full comment on the final report of the Independent Curriculum and Assessment Review. 👉 neu.org.uk/latest/press...

This week the government published its response to the final report of its curriculum and assessment review. NEU members provided evidence of the urgent need for change. 🔗 bit.ly/4oijfnm

It’s so disappointing that the government has pre-empted the outcome of its independent curriculum and assessment review to announce yet another statutory test.

Agencies prioritise profit. Refusing fair pay shows the system puts profit first. Teachers and pupils deserve better. #StopTheAgencyRipOff ✍️ Write to your MP to demand change. 👉 bit.ly/4777aKx

Alongside our sister trade unions, the NEU has issued the following joint statement to the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) in England. To repair the damage to our education service, the Government must properly invest in our teachers and school leaders👉bit.ly/4nxfQjt #InvestInEducation

Today, the Government submitted its evidence to the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB). If it were truly serious about education, it would invest in it, not continue to make the living standards of dedicated teachers worse. #InvestInEducation You can read our full statement here 👉 bit.ly/4oFOhFr

Supply teachers are often paid far less than the agencies charge schools for their work. They do the same job as permanent staff but are undervalued and underpaid. #StopTheAgencyRipOff The time for government to act is NOW! ✍️ Write to your MP to demand change. 👉 bit.ly/4777aKx

We have all seen the toll that Ofsted inspections can take. Current inspections are unsafe and regularly cause mental health issues for teachers. The new reforms are simply not good enough – our members do not have any confidence that this will change. It’s time for radical reform. #AbolishOftsed

Ofsted’s latest proposals continue to drive an untenable and unreliable high-stakes system. This is not the solution to recruit and retain a motivated and successful school workforce.

The NEU is proud to stand alongside our sister unions NAHT and ASCL to hold Ofsted to account for its disregard of the mental health and wellbeing of school staff. We stand together to protect the workforce from a rushed and unreliable system, that will do more harm than good.
