Independent research shows wide gaps between the earnings of teachers and other professional groups.

A 2.8% rise won’t close that gap. And without new funding, it will just force schools to make cuts.

The government calls it a 2.8% pay rise.

But with no new funding, schools are expected to absorb the cost themselves.

That means cuts to staff, resources or both.

School closures resulting from falling pupil rolls could be the biggest threat to London-based educators jobs in 2025. NEU branches like Lambeth are showing that coordinated industrial action can mitigate the impact. This is from the latest edition of Educate magazine 👇🏻

It's good to see recognition that students should be able to choose from a range of qualifications - not just A levels and T levels. This is a win for the #ProtectStudentChoice campaign

The PM’s talk of “school readiness” misses the point. Poverty, Covid impacts, and service gaps are the real barriers. Instead of slogans, we need:

✅ Proper funding for early years
✅ Support for health needs
✅ Protection for Maintained Nursery Schools

Rather than ‘ready for school’, the route to improving children’s outcomes is better investment in the early years sector.
