This graph from the National Education Union shows how teacher pay has fallen against inflation since 2010. Of course, there are issues other than pay for teachers in 2024, but it really highlights what a joke it is for the government to be offering a 1-2% pay rise. #PayUp24

Teachers have seen bigger falls in their average pay in real terms since 2010 than the public sector as a whole, finds Institute for Fiscal Studies

In a general election year, nothing should be more important to our political leaders than making things better for the country’s poorest kids.

4.3 million children are living in poverty in the UK. That's a record high.

For every 6 teachers we lose, 10 more have to be trained.

A slight improvement on a terrible recruitment rate (more missed targets) is meaningless when retention is worsening.

The crisis in recruitment retention is costly. Not just for our children, who deserve better - but…

📊NEW ANALYSIS FROM NEF📊 Another round of national insurance cuts, announced tomorrow, would benefit those who need it least. The richest fifth of households would gain 12x more than the poorest fifth. #SpringBudget 1/3

Jeremy Hunt has done nothing to address the funding crisis in our schools and colleges. He has turned his back on the teacher and support staff recruitment and retention crisis, the record class sizes, the decrepit state of our school buildings.

🗣️Our Chief Executive Paul Kissack on the decisions made in today's #Budget2024 🔽

Our schools have been underfunded for far too long, leading to larger class sizes.

70% of schools in England have less funding in real terms than in 2010. It’s time to save our schools and our children’s future.
