Next week @BlackpoolZoo Playbarn! ❤️🥁🐯

[SWLancsNEU @SWlancsNEU]

Pickets around South West Lancashire & our members in London. We will strike as long as it takes to make @RishiSunak @GillianKeegan deliver fair pay and funding. #SaveOurSchools #PayUpNow

[Kevin Courtney @cyclingkev]

Wow! 40,000 teacher left teaching last year! That’s a huge 9% of all teachers. And 90% of those were pre-retirement. This is astonishing, a crisis.
What is Gillian Keegan doing about it?

[Jason Elsom @JasonElsom]

All educators should hear this again and again. The late @SirKenRobinson …

[Tes magazine @tes]

In ‘an unprecedented show of unity’, teachers and school leaders will coordinate strike action if members back walkout ballots this term, @NAHTnews @NEUnion @ASCL_UK @NASUWT are expected to announce today

Teacher vacancies are 93% higher now than in the year before the pandemic.

Osfted visited our school this week, I decided to speak out.

“We must make sure that Ofsted is proportionate, we do need an accountability system, but in its current guise it is not fit for purpose and is causing long term damage to teacher’s physical and mental well-being.” @NAHTnews

[Rachel Mears (Lofthouse) @DrRLofthouse]

A visceral visual representation of how the DfE-created teacher retention and recruitment crisis is impacting on learners. And yet Sunak proposes maths to 18. How disconnected from reality can he be?

[Daniel Kebede @DanielKebedeNEU]

Our NHS and Education system are crying out for improved funding and a meaningful pay offer that can take steps to reverse the decade of decline

The recruitment and retention crisis is real

No Teacher, Doctor, Nurse wants to strike

Keegan and Barclay can avert these
#payup

[Dave McPartlin @dave_mcpartlin]

This is the the why. 💔
We must look after the people who look after our children.
Please could everyone do their bit and sign the petition for reform.

Please could we get this to 50,000 by the end of the day? #ForRuth

No-one with a professional understanding of education - or any understanding whatsoever - can consider the inspection format that has been in place since 2005 a fair and effective way of inspecting schools. Please contact me if you are prepared to give evidence, esp inspectors.

Education staff, have you been physically assaulted by a student?

[John Bald @JohnBaldLangLit]

‘Unfit for purpose’: Ofsted could face legal challenge from school leaders https://t.co/8taIbsPExl

[Dave McPartlin @dave_mcpartlin]

We should look after our school colleagues as well as they look after the nation’s children - we shouldn’t need medication to get through being ‘in the window’. So glad that we’re now feeling more empowered to stand up for what is right- Ofsted must change.

[branwen jeffreys @branwenjeffreys]

The decision @NAHTnews to reject the government pay offer - comes with a call to reballot on strike action - almost all say they can’t afford a pay rise from existing budgets without more funding. @PaulWhiteman6 talking to me for @BBCBreakfast described the offer as ‘insulting’

[Rachel Mears (Lofthouse) @DrRLofthouse]

Why headteachers are fighting back against Ofsted inspections https://t.co/EWWWsTXByd

[National Education Union @NEUnion]

In our State of Education survey, we asked NEU members to tell us why they plan to leave the profession. #NEU2023

Here’s what they told us:

[Kevin Courtney @cyclingkev]

NAHT results:
64% turnout
90% reject the offer
78% willing to take industrial action

Solidarity to @NAHTnews from all of us at @NEUnion

This campaign isn’t going away.
Govt must listen.
They must invest in this generation, and those who teach them.

[Censored Head NPQEL 🙋‍♂️ 🇺🇦💛💙 @CensoredHead]

They are lying.

Please do not fall for it if you are not in education.

Before this rise, we had a planned break even budget. Accounting for this and support staff pay, my budget is £25k in deficit.
