Today marks the inaugural meeting of the Improving Education
Together Partnership Board. NASUWT-The Teachers'
Union has welcomed this as a milestone in developing an
approach to improving education that is based on government,
employers and trade unions working together in partnership to
achieve the shared ambitions of a world-class education for every
child.
The Board has been established with the aim of agreeing proposals
on education policy and its implementation.
Subgroups to the Board will carry out detailed work looking at
specific areas, with an initial focus on accountability, SEND and
inclusion, and the education workforce.
Dr Patrick Roach, NASUWT General
Secretary, said:
“Where the last government failed too many pupils and the
workforce in our schools and colleges, today's launch of the
Improving Education Together partnership represents a seismic
change to the landscape that will benefit those who work in our
schools and colleges and the pupils they teach.
“Today marks a defining moment in terms of how government can
work constructively with trade unions and employer
representatives to address the challenges that currently exist
and to improve outcomes for all children and young people.
“As signatories to the Improving Education Together partnership,
we will be delivering a New Deal for Teachers, ensuring that the
school and college workforce has the working conditions they need
to secure the best opportunities and outcomes for all pupils.”
