NEU Cymru notes more support for teachers
Speaking about the Cabinet Secretary's announcement today (2nd July) to support curriculum roll out, Nicola Fitzpatrick, Interim Wales Secretary for the National Education Union Cymru, said:
"NEU Cymru members will be pleased to see the Cabinet Secretary is trying to boost support for the roll out of the curriculum through clearer guidance and collaboration. This is long overdue.
"But it is clear too that our members need more than clearer guidance. If collaboration is to increase, then schools need funding, in order to allow time outside the classroom.
"Crucially, schools are making impossible choices with ever shrinking budgets. Every class deserves a fully qualified teacher, who is enabled through professional learning opportunities and clear support to help the children in their class to fulfil their potential.”
