Press releases

ASCL, Community, NAHT, NASUWT and NEU have issued a united call for a fully funded, inflation-plus pay increase to tackle the recruitment and retention crisis.

Unless this and any future Government addresses teacher pay, workload and school funding we shall only see the teacher recruitment and retention crisis deepen.

Schools do all they can to address their students needs but they do so with increasingly dwindling or non existent support.

This Government’s solution to its failure to hit its own teacher training targets is to move the goalposts.

NEU Cymru considers legal action over CSL’s shock use of agency staff

Only root and branch reform will end the tyranny of the inspection regime and the climate of fear it creates.

Dr Claire Rickard and Ms Megan Dickson, NEU Reps at The Cathedral School, said: "We are being forced to choose between a sub-state sector salary now, or a sub-state sector pension in the future."

Spring Budget throws education Into further crisis.

NEU Cymru will today open its preliminary electronic ballot over pay, funding, and the school year.

Fair pay is not just a request, but a necessity. Schools deserve proper funding for staffing provision - and the necessary funding to cover a pay rise.
