Report: Teachers’ Unions Won Big This Week. They’re Just Getting Started

by Rivkah Brown

The Tories' U-turn on schools was not merely the product of circumstance, but months of teacher organising. Now, with a multiplying membership and renewed confidence, unions are setting their sights beyond the pandemic to transforming their entire profession. Rivkah Brown reports.

Schools are set to reopen tomorrow, with the government arguing we must make sure “the poorest and most disadvantaged pupils don’t fall behind”. Chloe Tomlinson suggests ministers are employing a familiar strategy: crying ‘think of the children’ in order to get their own way.

Until recently Labour’s flagship education policy was as vague as it was exciting. This changed at last month's Labour Conference when a full picture of the party's proposed National Education Service emerged for the first time: it will be a full throttled attack on neoliberalism in education, argues teacher James McAsh, including the scrapping of Ofsted.

This month, children across the UK will learn about the lives of popular figures from Black history. But with Black Britons generally overlooked in favour of more familiar figures like Martin Luther King Jr and Nelson Mandela, Darell J Philips argues it is time to make sure Black British history is taught in schools too.
