School budgets are running on empty and further cuts will lead to fewer staff, larger classes and more work for teachers. The Chancellor today has offered no solutions to these problems.

On Saturday our special conference took a clear and decisive step. Delegates voted to withdraw from an agreement we made via the TUC in 2017 which governs our relationship with school support staff.

We want to work together with sister unions to ensure a voice for all education workers.

Years of underfunding is increasing workloads and putting schools under pressure. The government expects heads to fund staff pay rises from already stretched budgets. This isn’t sustainable.

On top of that, the government is threatening to remove teachers’ directed time, which will make workload grow even more.

🚨 Your vote matters!

Lack of extra money will force head teachers to make even more cuts to staff and vital resources, which will increase the work of all educators and damage the education children receive.

Without more funding, the government’s SEND announcements will place even greater pressure on overstretched staff and a system already at breaking point. Without adequate investment, the government risks scuppering its own ambitions. #SaveEducation
