We appreciate that @bphillipsonMP & her colleagues at the Treasury must weigh up all the public sector pay reports.
But we need urgent answers on this year's teacher pay rise.
Heads must be able to plan their budgets for September. #PayUp #ValueEducation

The framing of "Do teachers want more pension or more pay?" is completely backwards.
Teachers want to be rewarded fairly for the difficult job they do. They want fair pay, and they want to defer some of their earnings so they can live a dignified retirement (a fair pension).
What they don't want is CEOs on in excess of £250k a year, running trusts with reserves in excess of £50m giving them the choice between hardship now or hardship in retirement.
Let's call it for what it is: a flagrant attempt to undermine teachers' terms and conditions that will undermine the pension for the entire profession.

.@GillianKeegan's STRB report publication plan:
1️⃣ Set a deadline.
2️⃣ Ignore it.
3️⃣ Repeat.
The complete disregard for school leaders, teachers, and pupils must end.
Publish the report, Gill!
Now the election is called, Gillian Keegan has successfully delayed the STRB report meaning heads can't budget until next year. GS @DanielKebedeNEU calls her out:
Hi @GillianKeegan
You wrote to me last week asking me to stop:
1) taking to social media
2) Threatening strike ballots
And to let the STRB process conclude.
The report is on your desk.
Show the school community the respect please and publish it.
Or more of 1&2 are inevitable.
Come clean, publish the STRB report.
Yours
Daniel

.@GillianKeegan we think you meant:
Every day, Government underfunding of our schools is causing disruption to our children’s education.
Children should not have to learn in crumbling buildings, in huge classes, taught by teachers not qualified in their subjects, without textbooks or other resources. I’m announcing I will properly engage with @NEUnion to solve the crisis in our schools. #ValueEducation
We think @MattLismore would make a cracking Education Secretary! @GillianKeegan would do better addressing the reasons we were forced to strike rather than creating yet more repressive anti-union legislation.
Hi Gillian,
A few tips:
1. Pay teachers and academic staff wages that reflect the great work they do & they won’t be on strike
2. Give them real classrooms rather than RAAC deathtraps
3. Get class sizes back under control, preferably through a combination of building more schools & hiring more teachers (which wouldn’t be too hard if you paid them right)

As teacher recruitment targets are missed for another year, Govt tackles the crisis head-on by slashing budgets AGAIN.
THIS IS SHOCKING
On Wednesday, Sunak said he would prioritise education funding.
Now I've just been called into a last-minute DfE meeting (5.30pm Friday), only to be informed that unplanned cuts are coming!
School funding will rise by just 2%, not 2.8% promised in July.
We already have record class sizes and can't recruit or retain teachers.
Sunak must commit to stop school cuts.
@GillianKeegan, we need a ministerial statement!
