New Deal for Teachers

Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world - teachers change lives and build a better world, but teachers were failed by the last government.

NASUWT is commited to working with the new Government to make our country the best to grow up in for every child and young person.

Children’s lives and futures have been damaged over the last 14 years by a lack of investment in our schools, colleges and wider support services for children and families.

More teachers and headteachers are leaving the profession prematurely, whilst targets to train the next generation of teachers have been missed for more than a decade - holding back a generation and damaging our country’s prospects for the future.

Our children and young people deserve better.

Why is this important?

Thie last government has shown not one shred of care or concern for the teaching profession and presided over 14 years of neglect and decline.

We know the scale of the challenge the new government faces. We’re not asking for quick fixes. Our members want lasting solutions that will repair our broken schools and colleges.

We want to work with the Government to secure good industrial relations through dialogue and consensus building, including:
  • social partnership with workforce trades unions and employers and strengthen collective bargaining rights;
  • restoring confidence in the independent teachers’ pay review process;
  • requiring all school and college employers to recognise trade unions for the purpose of collective bargaining.
