Default Teachers consider strike

further strikes by the NUT may be called, further to pension concerns but pressure to perform to government directives.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-17551617

QUOTE:
Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers (NUT), said teachers felt demoralised by the number of new initiatives directed at schools and by "carping" criticism.

She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "They are dispirited and angry by turn - for example being told 'We have tolerated mediocrity for too long' - that does not help the profession.

Teachers are expected to meet unrealistic targets, or risk the sack....

QUOTE:
Teachers at the NUT will hear calls to scrap England's schools inspectorate Ofsted and criticism of the government in England's plans to make it easier for head teachers to remove poor teachers.

The government wants to cut the time it can take to remove an underperforming teacher from a year to one term.

No mention of underfunded undervalued experienced teachers, or the secondary education system that is not working for 1000s of children in deprived areas of the UK.
