The Tories have declared war on state education their real aim is; to destroy local democracy, ‘shrink the state’ and then allow ‘for-profit’ schools – like ‘Charter’ Schools in the USA. But this may well be over reach by the Government. It is up to us to build the biggest alliance and make this real possibility a fact.
The Government testing system is in chaos. Primary teachers are struggling with:
Changes to the curriculum
contradictory advice
forcing children to jump through hoops
Come and tell Nicky Morgan what you think (and bring your marking) Thursday 17th March 5pm onwards Department for Education, Great Smith Street, London SWI 3BT

Yannis Gourtsoyannis of the BMA National Executive Junior Doctors Ctte will be attending our General Meeting to explain why British Medical Association (BMA) members are fighting Tory health secretary Jeremy Hunt’s plans to impose new contracts. They voted by 98 percent for strikes and 99 percent for action short of strikes, on a turnout of 76 percent. They will now strike for 24 hours on 1 December, providing only “emergency care”, followed by “full withdrawals of labour” on 8 and 16 December. Junior doctors are fighting new contracts that would rip apart their terms and conditions. Some face a deep pay cuts—and they warn that the plans would put patient safety at risk.
