This is why National Education Union will be debating the legitimacy of Ofsted this week. After years of ever increasing punitive and damaging inspections this regime must change.

“Changes are made with educators, not to them… another way is possible and Cuba shows this.” Merike Williams from Stockton shares her experiences of primary & SEND schools in Cuba. #NEU2023

Merike highlights the "reckless" attitude of the government in trying to implement new ratio changes in Early Years #NEU2023

A crucial debate on early years education, how it is funded and the safety around the proposed changes to ratios #eyfstagteam #eyfs #NEU2023

We're hearing the urgent motion on early years and Stockton NEU secretary Merike is speaking on the importance of retaining the staff to child ratio to keep children safe. #NEU2023 NEU Northern

Last week a team of National Education Union members told the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) it is time for a fully funded inflation plus pay increase. 📺Watch our film on how our delegation got on.👇 #PayUp #SaveOurSchools HARK Films @MrMattOB

More outright lies from Gillian Keegan on ITV news this evening about National Education Union members on strike. Say it with me now, the 👏🏻 offer 👏🏻 was 👏🏻 NOT 👏🏻 funded 👏🏻 Schools having to pay 4% out of their existing budgets is NOT a funded offer 🤦🏻‍♀️ #EnoughlsEnough #SaveOurSchools

It's high time Channel 4 ITV or Netflix create a documentary where celebrities who hate teachers go in and teach in a tough school for 2 weeks.

Wow… if only she knew. Talk to the people on the ground. Our budgets aren’t equipping us with what children need. There’s only so much people can take until they break. #payup

Making our voices heard at James Cook hospital South Tees Hospitals. We’re standing strong for fair pay. Remi Montoya

That’s right Jen (age 11)!

The STRB has rejected the govt. limit on teacher pay. National Education Union campaign and industrial action is working. But we are not there yet. There are important questions. What about funding? Keep their feet to the fire. Vote YES in the ballot and post today!

Wow. Service at Popeyes in the Metro Centre is terrible! Ordered an americano with my breakfast. Got told there would be a 5 min wait at approx 10:15am. At 10:45am a coffee arrived. With milk. Wrong order. Asked for a refund and none given as it was part of a meal. AVOID!
