The latest news from Schools North East
How has it already been over a week since Labour’s Keir Starmer won the general election and was appointed as the Prime Minister? So much has happened already in this short space of time; Bridget Phillipson was announced as the new Secretary of State for Education, and plans to recruit an additional 6,500 teachers are (apparently) already under way.
At Schools North East, we have refreshed our manifesto recommendations as a call to action from all political parties wanting to take seriously the long term challenges of education in our region.
Stop what you’re doing for a moment and let this sink in: This time next week, we’ll have a new government in power. This is the last Schools North East Weekly Newsletter of the current government. There’s just as much to look forward to as there is to dread, but there’s no denying that this will be a pivotal moment for the sector regardless of what happens on 4 July.
