Teachers are struggling with the rising cost-of-living, and an unfunded 2.8% pay rise just won’t cut it!

Through their collective action, our sixth-form teaching members have secured funding for an above-inflation pay award, guaranteeing the integrity of their collective bargaining. A hard-earned win, well done! neu.org.uk/press-releas...
