The School Teachersβ Review Body (STRB) has made its recommendation and the report is sitting on Bridget Phillipsonβs desk. We ask the Education Secretary to publish the report now and fund fair pay for teachers and our schools. #NEU2025 #FundFairPay

Absolutely awesome night last night. Ocean Colour Scene, Kula Shaker and my favourite man!
9 children in an average class of 30 are growing up in poverty. That cannot be right in the world's sixth richest country. The government must invest in the next generation β it can make an immediate start by making #FreeSchoolMealsForAll a reality: freeschoolmealsforall.org.uk/take-action
Teachers are struggling with the rising cost-of-living, and an unfunded 2.8% pay rise just wonβt cut it!
And it will only make the recruitment and retention crisis in our schools get worse!
π³οΈThe time to act is now. Have your say in the preliminary ballot on pay and funding: NEUActivate.com.
Well Iβm finishing the final day of meteorological winter with a sunny walk by the river. Itβs been rather a lush day.
I highly recommend both these books
Awesome weekend spent with the most fabulous educators at our LGBT + conference. We are the NEU! π³οΈβπ
Through their collective action, our sixth-form teaching members have secured funding for an above-inflation pay award, guaranteeing the integrity of their collective bargaining. A hard-earned win, well done! neu.org.uk/press-releas...

A very interesting Hope not Hate briefing tonight. We have work to do to tackle Farage but I have hope that we can offer a real alternative.
Big love to all NEU members who marched today against racism.
We cannot allow the far right to spread fear and hate in our communities.
Doing your pupils proud.

βWe canβt expect children to be ready for school or able to learn if theyβre going without the basics."
Poverty harms children's learning. That's why we need government to commit to universal free school meals and support all pupils to learn. www.tes.com/magazine/new...
Itβs a bit rich for the Conservatives to talk about teachersβ pay. They had 14 years in power and, over that time, teachers in England saw their pay decline by a fifth. Kemi Badenoch should apologise for the recruitment and retention crisis her party created.
The government must invest in children's education, starting by pledging a fully funded, significantly above-inflation pay rise. Our evidence to the pay review body calls for urgent action on both pay and school funding. Read it here: https://buff.ly/3PZSXad
"The suggestion that an unfunded pay award can be paid for by making βefficienciesβ is an insult to a profession who have already endured 14 years of austerity."
Your executive has met and made a decision. Our indicative ballot will open on 1 March.
