Struggling to get my head around the logic behind this.
Labour’s “we have to do it, or racism will get worse” argument is striking. Any other public policy failures British ethnic minorities should be on the hook for? Can we be blamed en bloc for Rachel Reeves’ budget next week too? www.ft.com/content/37b0...

The NEU has submitted its pay claim to the STRB, calling for urgent, fully funded action to reverse the real terms cuts to teacher pay since 2010. We want a fair national pay structure, no PRP and real steps to tackle excessive workload. 1/4

This week the NEU joined over 100 organisations urging the government to scrap the cruel two child benefit limit, which pushes 109 children into poverty every day. Ending it would transform children’s opportunities and the UK’s future. Read the full letter here. cpag.org.uk/news/letter-...

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social, the new Ofsted system is a missed opportunity to prioritise the wellbeing and mental health of teachers and school leaders.
We need a new system that is supportive, effective and fair.

Our members suffered for 14 years under a tone-deaf Tory government. We expected better from Labour but are still being let down.

AI generated targets. *FacePalm*
Targets have always had a mechanistic, dehumanising element. This seems very much in that tradition. School leaders' points seem well-made: reaching for another target (or test) is so much easier for Whitehall than ground-up improvement. schoolsweek.co.uk/ai-to-set-mi...
