76% of primary schools and 94% of secondary schools will not be able to afford their costs next year.

National Education Union non-academised sixth form college teachers have announced further strike action in their ongoing dispute with the Secretary of State for Education

NEU Cymru will ballot members for strike action as the new Ysgol Robert Owen £22m school in Powys faces massive cuts.

The government must address the lack of education funding head on and ensure that our schools and colleges get the funding they desperately need.

Today four education unions have written to the Secretary of State outlining their concerns about the inadequate and underfunded pay recommendation.

NEU Cymru members will be pleased to see that there is more in-year funding to support the education system.

This report is right to highlight the enormous gulf between Government spending on SEND in recent years, and the amount needed to meet actual and growing demand.

Rather than ‘ready for school’, the route to improving children’s outcomes is better investment in the early years sector.

This swift response is a good starting point for helping schools.

You get what you pay, for and the decimation of the arts in state schools is evidence of just that.

Government must reduce how many children are living in poverty, and break the cycle.

NEU sixth form members have voted overwhelmingly in favour of taking strike action in their dispute over pay and funding.
