We [receive] daily reports of NASUWT members being verbally abused & assaulted in schools... we had hoped that the National Action Plan would have been published before now [so] its key messages could be acted upon and embedded in schools before the start of the new academic year

[NASUWT Scotland @NASUWT_Scotland]

I was in a meeting yesterday discussing the reasons why more pupils are leaving school in S4... a key reason shared by all was the need to update and improve the senior phase... yet we still do not know @scotgov own views on a report... published over a year ago. @mike_corbett_1

[NASUWT Scotland @NASUWT_Scotland]

@scotgov @mike_corbett_1 Teachers in Scotland did not want to go into the summer holiday period still awaiting answers and guidance on these two vital areas but, regrettably, that is where we currently are. @mike_corbett_1

@Rottingeggs1 @tombennett71 There's something really wrong with someone who thinks there's something wrong with a school that has to have a removal room. Also, there's something really wrong with a school that doesn't have a removal room.

Scotland must continue to show solidarity for Sheku's family.

His name must never be forgotten.

NASUWT and the trade union movement at large stand with the Bayoh family @AamerAnwar @SUTRScotland to demand justice.

Nahid Aslam, member of the NASUWT Black Network, speaking powerfully at this mornings vigil.

The family's fight for justice is a service to every other person of colour.

We today draw a line in the sand to say no more.

Reflecting on the UFSM roundtable, Tara Lillis - @STUCwomen & NASUWT - noting the positive engagement from parliamentarians. Thanks to @MonicaLennon7 for hosting.

We now need decisive action from @scotgov.

Hunger won't wait.

Another reason to to join @NASUWT_Scotland . Finally some recognition that Drama (and other obvious subjects) needs to be reclassified as a practical subject. Yep, that’s right, it’s currently NOT. Utterly bizarre! 🎭
