We are ready for change...

...and time is running out for Gillian Keegan...

Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world - teachers change lives and build a better world, but teachers are being failed by this Government.

It’s time for change

Read our Manifesto for Teachers to find out about the ambitious programme of change we have set the next government with. We want a commitment to a New Deal for Teachers, an agenda essential to securing a world-class education system that allows all children and young people to flourish and succeed.

At this year’s Annual Conference 2024, we agreed a powerful new strategy as a Union.

General Secretary’s Address to Annual Conference 2024

Since the start of the year, NASUWT has sought to engage with members to determine our campaigning strategy for the coming months.

The message has come back loud and clear: teachers are angry, frustrated and believe the change we need can only come from a new government that is committed to delivering a new deal for teachers.

The majority (78%) of eligible members surveyed in the Union’s last consultative ballot did not support moving to a national statutory ballot for industrial action at this time, but NASUWT members have no confidence in the current Government’s ability to deliver the changes needed.

This Government has shown not one shred of care or concern for the teaching profession and it’s now run out of time to fix the problems of 14 years of neglect and decline.

It’s time for this Government to stop holding children and teachers to ransom and call the General Election now.

We know the scale of the challenge any new Government will face. We’re not asking for quick fixes. Our members want lasting solutions that will repair our broken schools and colleges.

We want politicians who will champion teachers and deliver a promise to secure the future of our profession.

We need a New Deal for Teachers

It’s not enough to hope for the best. We all need to play our part in making change happen and that work begins today.
