Teachers and headteachers urgently need change...

...and you decide what happens next...

Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world - teachers change lives and build a better world, but teachers are being failed by this Government.

NASUWT wants a new government to commit to making our country the best to grow up in for every child and young person.

Children’s lives and futures are being damaged 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.

We believe that investing in a brighter future for our children starts with investing in our teachers

NASUWT is ready for the general election taking place on Thursday 4 July.

The outcome of the election must be a turning point for the future of our schools and colleges and for the future of the teaching profession.

The current government has run out of time to fix the problems created by 14 years of neglect and decline.

A New Deal for Teachers on pay, workload, working hours and wellbeing will only be secured when there is a government in Westminster that is on the side of teachers, education and public services.

This election matters for education in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales - high-quality education is dependent on a fair funding settlement from Westminster.

NASUWT will be campaigning to ensure that the next government will commit to ending the teacher recruitment and retention crisis and ensuring that every child is taught by qualified teachers. 

Our Manifesto for Teachers and Political Briefings are already available on the right/below and we want you to make sure a New Deal for Teachers is on every candidate’s ‘to do list’.

We want the next government to deliver a New Deal for Teachers

It’s time for change

The message from our members is loud and clear: teachers are angry, frustrated and believe the change we need can only come from a new government that is committed to delivering a New Deal for Teachers.

This Government has shown not one shred of care or concern for the teaching profession and it has run out of time and ideas to fix the problems of 14 years of neglect and decline.

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

We want politicians who will champion teachers and deliver a promise to secure the future of our profession.

NASUWT members have no confidence in the current Government’s ability to deliver the changes needed.

It’s not enough to hope for the best. We all need to play our part in making change happen and that work begins today.
