💥 Families are at breaking point. It is an emergency when people cannot afford essential items like food, baby formula and sanitary products. We have been driving around Westminster asking Keir Starmer to take urgent action against hardship. Have you spotted our van?

SATs put far too much pressure on children and educators and don't help learning. It's time for change. Find out more about More Than A Score 's campaign 👇

There are no winners here-I think the headline was meant to read-decimation of Subject Knowledge courses from universities? Universities are often at the forefront of international subject knowledge and pedagogy development - to see this reduced to 24 ‘providers’ is astonishing!

Lost count of the days now, but this our last day for a week or so. We will be back on continuous strike soon though, unless Wirral Council can help us avoid it Regional Secretary National Education Union

The misogynists, racists and fascists will feel emboldened today. The curriculum and assessment review will need to do some heavy lifting to support our schools & colleges protect young people from hate & extremism. #ValueEducation #InvestInYoungPeople

Brave parents & teachers speaking out. This happens when you have a toxic exam and accountability system. The school may well be getting great results, but the cost is the wellbeing & mental health of too many. Children shouldn’t be broken by the education system 👇🏼

Frank Cottrell Boyce is right. The state of school buildings is one tangible result of 14 years of neglect by a government which preached equality of opportunity whilst practising rocketing rates of child poverty and neglect of state schools.

Important questions: why has the attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers widened? Why did over 40% of pupils fail to get a grade 4 in maths and over 38% in English last year? What effect is this having on the pupils and on our future prospects as a country?

Keir Starmer promised to invest in education after 14 years of austerity. We’ve got the highest primary class sizes in Europe. Secondary class sizes: highest since records began. College funding: cut to the bone. Funding for SEND support: totally inadequate. Time to act.

The lies of Sir Martyn Oliver, a thread in many parts, presented on the day after the second anniversary of the death of Ruth Perry. I will use verifiable sources to show how, during yesterday’s accountability hearing, Sir Martyn lied in nearly every way imaginable...

Why on earth are private school fees included in the notional basked of goods used to calculate inflation? More than 90% of parents never pay them.

In today’s education news... if you’re not as angry as I am about the news Amanda Spielman is getting a peerage, have you been working in education over the past few years?

Well done NAHT National Education Union abolish Ofsted. Two education unions with concerns. Ofsted will you listen?

Brilliant, as it is every year, a savage mauling of the annual grammar test for Year 6s from Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 For goodness sake, Bridget Phillipson & Department for Education, Oli De Boton and anyone else who can help, PLEASE make it stop!

It is simply not fit for purpose. Time for a brave govt to accept that the system is broken and needs to be thrown out and start again
