Rashida Din, NASUWT President 2024, opened her inaugural address by saying, ‘What an honour it is to address you as the first Muslim President of the NASUWT, the teachers’ union.’
 
Dr Patrick Roach used his keynote address to call for change that can only come from a new government that is committed to delivering a new deal for teachers.
