National Campaigns
Your NEU is a campaigning union with a clear vision of what our education system should look like.
The NEU is campaigning for inflation-plus cost-of-living pay increases for teachers, and effective action on pay for other supply and support staff.
NEU members have made their feelings very clear: Ofsted causes more harm than good and we need urgent and fundamental reform
After Covid-19, we need reform of our assessment and exams systems to make them fit for the future.
The NEU’s No Child Left Behind campaign is fighting to break down the barriers poverty puts up around equal access to education.
