BBC News NI More misinformation for the government's broadcaster. It's not the pay offer they rejected it's the failure to address the workload. Fair play to them I say 👍

Just remember: teachers probably impact more people in one year than an average person does in an entire lifetime. You are worth your weight in gold!

GB vs NI “NAHT’s (GB) immediate objective for the 2025 pay round is to secure a fully funded ‘inflation plus’ uplift from September 2025 to protect current salaries against further erosion by inflation & begin the restoration salaries to their 2010 value. youtu.be/3aWnI2hvM4E

Every Executive party except the DUP has agreed that minor works processes for allocating millions of pounds in funding to Northern Ireland schools require a ‘review and audit’. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/education…

Is there a cast iron commitment to accept the findings of any such Independent Review? Only 3 members? We all know what CAN happen to Independent Review reports: remember Bengoa?

Sample-based, non-attributable assessments like this can help provide a check on system-level performance. Important they are not used at school or pupil levels - not just that they’re not published at those levels - as their primary role should be to check policy effectiveness.

43,522 teachers left the profession last year. The government’s plan to recruit 6,500 new ones is nowhere near enough. Rachel Reeves had the chance to give schools the funding they urgently need in her spring Statement. She didn’t. Vote now to send the government a message
