Pupils experiencing poverty face barriers to getting the education they deserve.

It is welcome that the Education Minister has taken this step to try and help ensure school uniforms are not a barrier to children attending school.

NEU Cymru welcomes increase in support payment to FE students. This increase is a step in the right direction for the Welsh Government.

Our future and that of younger generations is being threatened.

73% of NEU teacher members in Wales who responded to the union’s consultation have voted to ACCEPT the pay offer put forward by the Welsh Government, and end the dispute.

Following the Minister’s revised offer for teachers in Wales, NEU Cymru are consulting their teacher members, to see whether they accept or reject the offer, via an electronic ballot.

Following lengthy negotiations with the Welsh Government, a new, revised and fully-funded pay offer will be put to teacher members.  

Following detailed talks, the National Executive of the NEU have agreed to postpone a planned day of action in Wales, which was scheduled for the 14 February 2023.

Today, teachers and support staff in Wales' schools, took strike action in pursuit of a fully-funded, above inflation pay rise.
