Good grief. I mean GOOD GRIEF.

In the past 25 years, teachers real-term pay has decreased by 20%.

MP’s pay has risen by 23% real-terms.

This is factual. Please don’t ignore this. Change has to happen now.

What you should be getting mad about

👉90% of schools facing cuts in 2023
👉Teacher recruitment target missed by a third
👉Teacher vacancies up 93%
👉Teacher pay lost in real terms by 23% since 2010

What you are told to get mad about:

👉Teachers standing up for the profession

BREAKING: Once again @GillianKeegan has refused to release the pay review body report. If you agree with us that she should release it immediately and start negotiations with us please like or share #saveOurSchools

The headlines today will be about pay.
But this industrial action is about much more than pay.
It's about an education system which is undervalued by Government and which is buckling under too much strain.

Invest in our educators!
Invest in our schools!
Invest in our children!

Today, more than 50,000 junior doctors begin a 72-hour strike. Why?

🏥 Unbearable workloads and record waiting lists

📉 Real pay down 26% since 2008

🚑 Pay now as low as £14.09 per hour

🩺 79% considering leaving the profession

RT if you’re behind our NHS workers 👊

@MissKingTeach I’ve just accepted a job as a policy coordinator for the teacher training arm of the local university. They were really excited about the transferable skills teachers have!

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

People aren't waiting 40 hours for an ambulance because of a one-day strike by paramedics. They're waiting 40 hours for an ambulance because the Tories running down the NHS, week in, week out.

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

500,000 workers take strike action today. They are taking on corporate and government greed and power.

RT if you back every single individual who is on the picket lines today.

my cat has no responsibilities, but all day he walks around the house from room to room with this utter sense of purpose, as if he has an endless to-do list of tasks no one asked for. just this weird small furry dude going about his little cat errands.

[Freddie @FreddieBailey96]

Any Tory MP who says teachers going on strike is damaging to students. Let me tell you that 13 years of continually cutting school budgets is far far more damaging to students.

[Jeffrey Boakye @jeffreykboakye]

What people need to realise is that any disruption caused by teachers striking is nothing compared to the ongoing disruption to education by teachers and TAs leaving the profession, or not joining in the first place, due to pay, conditions and culture. The crisis is happening.
