This year must be a turning point for education with decisive action to make the UK the best place for children and young people to grow up in and learn
Foreword to NASUWT 2025/26 Campaign Plan by the General Secretary
The last General Election delivered the change that our members demanded.
After more than a decade of austerity that devastated our schools and public services, the country voted in 2024 for a government committed to a new direction.
This must be a turning point for education.
Teachers expect nothing less than decisive action to make the UK the best place in the world for children and young people to grow up in and learn.
We have a new government - now we must hold it to account and ensure it delivers a New Deal for Teachers and for children’s education.
While we welcome the promises of change, we know that promises alone will not repair the damage done.
Teachers have endured years of declining pay, rising workload and attacks on their profession. 2024 was a year of change. Join us in making 2025/26 the year of delivery.
This Campaign Plan sets out our priorities for the year ahead, built on the resolutions adopted at our 2025 Annual Conference.
Together, we will press every politician and policymaker - through our ongoing industrial campaigns and our advocacy to secure a New Deal for Teachers - to secure the real changes teachers and pupils need.
2023 was a year of action. 2024 was a year of change. 2025/26 must be the year we secure the promise of a New Deal for all Teachers.
Acting General Secretary Matt Wrack
