📢 The Labour Party Reforms for Education! Here are some key takeaways: 🔹 Curriculum Enhancements: Building on the hard work of teachers, we aim to deliver a curriculum that is rich, broad, inclusive, and innovative, bringing subjects alive with knowledge-rich syllabuses. 🔹 Creative and Vocational Studies: Support children to study a creative or vocational subject until they are 16, ensuring accountability measures reflect this. 🔹 New Ofsted Report Card System: Replace single headline Ofsted grades with a new report card system, providing parents with clear insights into school performance. 🔹 Expert Teacher Recruitment: Recruit an additional 6,500 new expert teachers in shortage subjects, support areas facing recruitment challenges, and tackle retention issues. 🔹 Support Staff Recruitment: Reinstate the school support staff negotiating body to address the acute recruitment and retention crisis in support roles. 🔹 Community-Wide Approach to SEND: Improve inclusivity and expertise in mainstream schools, ensuring special schools cater to those with the most complex needs. 🔹 Free Breakfast Clubs: Fund free breakfast clubs in every primary school, accessible to all children. 🔹 Physical Education and Sports: Protect time for physical education and support the role grassroots clubs play in expanding access to sport. Will these reforms create a more inclusive, supportive, and enriching environment for our students and educators? https://lnkd.in/eCZFe2uz #EducationReform #InclusiveEducation #TeacherSupport #CurriculumDevelopment #StudentWellbeing #CommunityEngagement #PhysicalEducation #CreativeLearning

The NSW budget has been unveiled. It will deliver wage rises for public sector workers but will result in reduced subsidies for families and electric vehicle drivers amid the cost-of-living crisis. Public sector workers including teachers and nurses will be the winners of this year's budget, with 95,000 teachers getting wage increases of up to $10,000 from next term. There will also be a $2.2 billion fund for new housing and infrastructure, including the construction of 4,700 new dwellings. Families who currently benefit from the government subsidy on sporting and extracurricular activities will lose out as the vouchers will be reduced from $100 to $50 and will be means tested. Electric vehicle drivers will also miss out as the state will scrap the $3,000 subsidy for drivers who buy new electric vehicles from January 1 next year. NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey writes on LinkedIn: "This budget is just the start of a long-term plan to rebuild essential services and ensure that every person in NSW has access to the quality healthcare and education they deserve."

The Independent Education Union is calling for pay rises for teachers in private schools to “maintain the traditional premium” of wages that are five to seven per cent above the salaries for teachers in the public system. #teachers #payrise #privateschools

The union representing staff at private schools in NSW is calling for pay rises to ensure salaries remain 5-7% above the wages of teachers in the public system. The Independent Education Union of Australia, NSW/ACT Branch said the government's 8% pay rise to public school teachers in September resulted in pay rates for many independent staff now being lower than their counterparts in government schools. Union branch secretary Carol Matthews is recommending that the Association of Independent Schools of NSW match the government rates for all teachers and "maintain the traditional premium", Women's Agenda reports. "Some working conditions in this sector have traditionally not been regulated, such as face-to-face teaching hours, extras, playground duties and other requirements," she said. "And there is no portability of benefits between schools — so the premium recognises this." Writing in The Conversation Australia + NZ, Dr Paul Kidson, senior lecturer at the Australian Catholic University, said increasing salaries for private school teachers could lead to some teachers leaving public or low-free Catholic schools. "But given many private school teaching salaries come with extra time commitments, teachers would be weighing up the pros and cons of a move," he said.

Let me. Let me spit fire. Let us. Let us cut through the red tape that wants to gag life out of our heroes That the very people who holds nation building in theor hands, the ones who are fixinbg the puzzles that build up dreams. The ones that ignite the flames of imagination in the heart of the next generation. The people that makes dreams a reality. I am talking about the Teachers of our nation. The disparity between the federal, state and local government teachers is disheartening Although they may share a compound, facilities and walls, the difference is clear. A federal government (level 8) teacher is paid over 120,000 naira but a local government teacher in the same state is owned arrears of their benefits. Those in the state capital are been owned over 2 years of arrears from minimum wage, their promotion has not been implemented since 2018. Those promoted from level 6 to level 8, over 2 years ago are still being paid, 36000 naira. A miserable sum that can’t feed one person for a week not to talk of transportation. While they are clutching tightly to a pension promised. It hurts to see their counterparts make thrice their salary with the same workload. Let’s advocate for these people who are the first on the roll, they are the first set of teachers a child encountered because local government teachers are the ones in charge of primary education. You should see them, only a few are willing to work hard, they are bone tired. Devoid of grace, dressed shabbily, dragging their feet and giving only their minimum. Who would blame them? Without teachers no other occupation will exist yet, we treat them like an option. Today let’s join hands and do more. Remake these laws. Pay them well Listen to them. Build them Equip them Lets start by appreciating them. #teacherappreciation week #dnaimprints

TITLE:- Teacher Union In most countries there is one major teachers’ organization to which all or nearly all teachers belong and pay dues. Sometimes membership is obligatory, sometimes voluntary. Thus there is the National Union of Teachers in England, the Japanese Teachers Union, the Fédération Générale d’Enseignement in France, and the Australian Teachers Union. In the former Soviet Union, where much of the political and social life of the people had been organized around unions, there were three teachers’ unions—for preschool teachers, primary- and secondary-school teachers, and teachers in higher education. These unions provided pensions, vacation pay, and sick-leave pay and thus touched the welfare of teachers at many points. The organizational complex is stable in some countries and changing in others. England, for example, has two different associations for male and female secondary-school teachers, two different associations for male and female headmasters of secondary schools, and a separate Association of Teachers in Technical Institutions. These associations are parallel to the National Union of Teachers, which is open to any qualified teacher from nursery school to university level. The National Union has no political affiliation but is politically powerful in its own right. France, in contrast, has a wide variety of teachers’ organizations, with various political leanings, but they do not get on well together and are politically less effective. TalentServe

Workers who help #WashingtonState classrooms run are calling for higher wages. Known as classified staff, their jobs include administrative work, transportation and custodial services. #Unions representing workers, including the American Federation of Teachers of Washington and Washington Education Association, have launched a wage campaign to increase pay for these workers. Anitra Wise, a para-educator with the Tacoma School District, helps teachers in the classroom and said her wages simply aren't enough. "We have to work two and three different jobs just to catch up with the cost of living, including housing, groceries and things that we need to survive," she said. With Washington state school districts out for summer, classified staff members face another challenge: the suspension of their low wages. Wise said she's working at summer school this year. "We have to supplement that income somehow, and I really don't get a summer, because I have to work just to supplement my income," she continued. Wise added classified staff have many important jobs, including the work she does as a para-educator in the classroom. "We're the glue that keep it together, do all the small jobs and the big jobs, too. Because without the team of para-educators, the teachers would not be able to teach, and para-educators are teachers also," she said. Disclosure: American Federation of Teachers of Washington contributes to our fund for reporting on Budget Policy & Priorities, Early Childhood Education, Education, Livable Wages/Working Families. https://lnkd.in/enmzDgEQ
