Thank you to everyone who came to our vigil for Prof Jason Arday yesterday in Edinburgh. Jason himself said that if he could change the world, he would take a needle and thread, and weave love back in to our society. That is his legacy, and we pledge to carry it forward. Rest in power, Professor. 🕯️

We are deeply saddened by Professor Jason Arday’s death, and the events leading up to it. The outpouring of outrage today feels too late. But it is important that we state what this was.

NASUWT condemns the racist violence & disorder and stands with every family & community under attack. That is why we are gathering this Saturday at the 'Reclaim our Streets; No to the Far Right' rally in Glasgow. Please make every effort to be there. 📅 Sat 13th June 📍 Glasgow Buchanan Steps 1pm
NASUWT condemns the racist violence and disorder seen this week in Northern Ireland as well as parts of Scotland

Our solidarity is with those communities targeted and with teachers across Scotland who are supporting children and young people impacted by this violence and intimidation. 

There is no place for racism, hate or violence in our communities and our political leaders must be unequivocal in condemning both those who physically attack racially minoritised communities and those who fuel the violence with poisonous rhetoric.

NASUWT stands with every family and community under attack - they are not alone, not forgotten, not abandoned.

That is why we are gathering this Saturday at the 'Reclaim our Streets; No to the Far Right' rally in Glasgow.

Please make every effort to be there.

Saturday 13th June

Glasgow: Buchanan Steps at 1pm

At our first conference @ross-greer.bsky.social argued that young people want to understand the Palestine issue. He also noted the historic responsibility Scotland has and the importance of teaching young people how to tackle injustice. It’s why we continue to call for a national teaching resource.
