NUT Cymru has continued its call for a review of the school banding system as part of a motion to the Wales TUC Conference in Llandudno. Wales’ largest union for qualified teachers has been leading opposition to the controversial system since it was introduced in December 2011. The motion highlights the detrimental impact banding is having on schools and staff across Wales and calls on the Welsh Government to review the decision to implement it.
NUT Cymru has called on the Welsh Government to work closely with Local Authorities in Wales to tackle the continuing problem of eroding rights for supply teachers. NUT Cymru, Wales’ largest Union for qualified teachers, says that some supply agencies are seeking to avoid their obligations under the Agency Worker Regulations.
Commenting on the report by Ofsted, Mathematics: made to measure, Christine Blower, General Secretary of the National Union of Teachers, the largest teachers’ union, said:
NUT members will be taking strike action tomorrow (Tuesday 22 May) over the proposal by the DfE to force Downhills School to become a sponsored academy.
