The government has announced teachers' biggest pay cut ever. @NEUnion members will take part in a ballot in September - vote YES to taking strike action for a fair pay rise.
'That one in five schools is also a foodbank should be our national shame' - writes @DanielKebedeNEU schoolsweek.co.uk/the-universal-…
Best wishes to all this September. Its an honour and privilege to become President of @NEUnion. Together we will build an organised, grassroots Trade Union led by its members.
My final day as @neupresident: handing over for 2021/22 - with pride and optimism - to @DanielKebedeNEU. Tomorrow, a new term in school with all the challenges that brings: working with a team of outstanding colleagues. ➡️Follow my personal professional tweets @DrRobinBevan.
“It is the point when our focus can shift away from the disruption of covid and on to learning, enrichment and recovery.” @GavinWilliamson on August 26th … … presumably he had read this ⬇️ from SAGE produced August 11th (public today), and has “planned for this eventuality”?
If we don’t take action to protect these qualifications now, when we have a rise in youth unemployment & the lowest member of #apprenticeships since the 80’s, we will see a generation of young people consigned to poverty & zero hour jobs. We must #protectstudentchoice

Maybe, one of these "detractors" will provide a real example of a union policy that informs their view! [Sadly, anyone relying on @ABridgen for a truthful or factual account is going to struggle to see through his fog of disinformation.] Proud of @NEUnion and all our members.

Dear @nadhimzahawi @educationgovuk Thanks-have a delightful Christmas. No doubt lots of wine and cheese too. Glad to see that opening my classroom windows gave the virus a good kicking…..oh hang on…..
@cyclingkev There is no humanity in this. "No excuse" shows how heartless this weaponised organisation is. School's need structured support to ensure students make the most of their learning experience. Not pass or fail rhetoric. Covid has provided extreme challenge. @NEUSouthWest
