NEU pays tribute to the Windrush generation, whose lives, labour, and legacy continue to shape our society.

Education as sanctuary, community as superpower

Inclusive recruitment practices and supportive leadership would improve the whole workforce and wider system.

The exploitative treatment of overseas trained teachers (OTTs) in this country needs to be addressed.

We need a teaching philosophy that values the diverse backgrounds and experiences of pupils.

NEU has reaffirmed its commitment today to challenge racism and call out all those who try to stoke hate, division, and violence.

Report shows disparities in outcomes between disadvantaged pupils and their peers continue to widen. For 11- and 16-year-olds, the gaps are the widest in over a decade.

Education attainment should not be limited or determined by young people’s background.

"Ending Educational Inequality" report shows that the work of teachers now extends well beyond the school gates.

We expect schools, colleges and settings to be accessible for all staff and students.

Our members should not be penalised for sickness absence where working arrangements have not been adjusted to accommodate their needs.

Schools work carefully to engage and communicate with parents and carers appropriately, but the Government is making the job of schools harder not easier.
