Teachers facing ‘dystopian’ working conditions need new deal on pay – union

Patrick Roach, general secretary of the NASUWT teaching union, has accused the Government of ushering in an era where “teaching is no longer a sustainable way to make a living”.

His comments came ahead of the union’s annual conference in Harrogate in Yorkshire over Easter.

The NASUWT union has been consulting its members in recent weeks to gauge whether they would be interested in taking industrial action on pay, workload, working hours and wellbeing.
