We are told that there is no money in the public purse for pay rises for the public sector. Here’s a thought - if money is earned in the UK, tax gets paid on it. Recover the tens of billions that went to Tory cronies during the pandemic - not sure how a stationery company can be legally entitled to a contract for PPE or indeed a pub landlord. Re-nationalise all the utilities indeed! #funding #teacherstrike #NEU
This is why we were out on strike today. #teacherstrike #NEU #SaveOurSchools

A message of support from the British public

We all know that picket lines aren't where any teacher wants to be. They want to be in classrooms, teaching our children. But teachers’ pay is falling way behind inflation, school buildings across the country are crumbling, the numbers of qualified teachers is falling, and some teachers are suffering from burnout and leaving the profession in droves. They have no other option. We know teachers across the country haven’t taken this decision lightly. They aren’t to blame for the crisis in...

High five to @[email protected] for communicating to parents about the @[email protected] strike with clarity, and with respect for striking staff. A lesson some uni bosses could do with learning!

Good luck and thanks to everyone trying to #SaveOurSchools - @[email protected] will 'see you there'!

I support the @[email protected] campaign for a proper pay rise for education staff.

Pay Up! Save Our Schools

Support the campaign for a fully funded, above-inflation pay rise for education staff.

The fight against the new anti-strike laws must not be left in the hands of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and Britain’s union leaders, or it will fail.

As a grandparent and school governor I absolutely support the campaign for a fully funded, above-inflation pay rise for education staff.

It’s been a long time since I last walked out but I am on strike today. I’m posting here for visibility and solidarity. #TeachersStrike #SaveOurSchools

I'm incredibly leery of anything to do with political speech (typical Singaporean), but I have brought my small people to the teachers' rally in town so they get to experience what I never did.
