“The government was elected in the hope it would value education, but a 2.8% pay award without funding does the opposite. Like the Conservatives before them, they are forcing schools to make more cuts.” - Daniel Kebede, NEU general secretary. www.tes.com/magazine/new...

Today, we have launched our preliminary ballot on pay and funding. The government’s unfunded 2.8% pay rise will mean schools have to make cuts to staff, resources or both. It’s time to act – vote now 👉 NEUActivate.com #FundFairPay #SaveOurSchools

After-school clubs don’t exist anymore because teachers’ goodwill has been decimated, and teachers can no longer afford to give up their time.

Consequences aren’t punishment, they’re boundaries. Boundaries that ‘Tommy’ hasn’t had before. Boundaries let children feel secure and know we care. If we don’t care enough about ‘Tommy’ to give him boundaries, he will continue patterns of destructive behaviour that he’s seen others get away with.

Hi @photographyteacher.bsky.social - that's really helpful feedback. We are a core coalition partner – as TUC affiliated union and professional body. We've been involved right from the start and were privileged to be at the launch. It's REALLY helpful for us to know that this is not clear.

Maybe it’s because I’m a teacher of the arts, but I genuinely don’t see how this teaching is joyful? I have no doubt they get high grades, but I don’t see joy here.
