A teachers' union leader is to launch an attack on the Government’s pay freeze for teachers, saying it shows “appalling contempt” for the profession.
In her speech to the NASUWT union’s annual conference in Birmingham, which opens today (Saturday, April 15) new president Angela Butler will also describe teachers as "forgotten heroes" who were protected by only “fig-leaf mitigations” as they worked in “overcrowded and dangerous” conditions during the pandemic .
She is expected to say workloads need to be made more manageable, and that school staff must be protected from malicious allegations and abuse on social media.
