Ramping up the pressure over schools

Now in the lead-up to the May 2015 general election, we’re asking every NUT member to stand for education and teachers and to engage, pressure, strike where necessary and unite.

Our campaign has already shown the impact that teachers can have by meeting and talking with their elected representatives.
