Sally Wheel
Without additional funding in UK schools, children will have larger class sizes, a reduced curriculum and fewer extra-curricular activities, the education union says. labor Party convention on Monday.

Ahead of the event, Secretary General Jeff Burton said: Association of School and College LeadersSaid:
Issues such as teacher salaries, recruitment and retention, school funding, and student performance are all relevant. Without adequate salaries, we cannot recruit and retain the teachers we need. And without the money to pay them, schools cannot maintain their current level of delivery, putting educational standards in jeopardy.
Secretary General Paul Whiteman National Association of Principalscriticized the government for not funding salary awards.
Soaring utility bills, inflation costs and teacher salary shortfalls this year mean school leaders will be forced to cut back, ultimately hurting children’s education and well-being.
Dr. Mary Busted, Co-Secretary-General of the National Education Federation, said:
Teaching is a great profession. However, after years of successive governments and numerous teaching secretaries, the conditions, salaries, and funding of the school have deteriorated so badly that many graduates have chosen not to enroll or are currently teaching. People are choosing to quit.
Shadow Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said: labor convention on wednesday.

Reeves They say that public services are the foundation of a strong society.
Half a million people have left the labor market in the last three years, more than half of them due to mental illness.
she says labor says it guarantees people get mental health treatment within a month.
Reeves To tell labor We do not waive responsibility for financial responsibility.
All the policies it announces will be carefully costed and fully funded, she claims.
(However, this morning she was happy to hint that borrowing will increase slightly, for example to raise funds to reduce the base rate of income tax to 19%. 8:28 am)
reeves If she were prime minister now, she would put together a national economic council that would include companies and labor unions.
she says labor Abolish the business rate. The current system is biased toward small stores. A new system fit for the 21st century will lead to an immediate reassessment.
She says the industrial strategy laid out by Jonathan Reynolds will help ensure that more is made in Britain. 8:11 a.m.)
If the government is serious about growth, she says, it has to make Brexit work. she continues:
There are contracts that don’t even include contracts with veterinarians. We are pioneers in the creative industries, but we have a deal that binds them over visas. We are the second largest exporter of services in the world, but our contracts do not include mutual recognition of professional qualifications. So fix the hole in the government’s hodgepodge Brexit deal.
And instead of picking unnecessary flop battles with our biggest trading partners, we work with our neighbors and allies in our national interest.
Reeves says labor turns minimum wage into a ‘real living wage’
reeves praises what she describes as workers in the ‘everyday economy’: transport workers and delivery drivers, supermarket staff, the NHS and care workers.
It is wrong, she says, to say that these people are not wealth creators.
Labor protects and strengthens workers’ rights.
And on her first day as prime minister, she instructs the Low Wage Commission to set the minimum wage at a level that reflects the actual cost of living.
She says this equates to a “true living wage.”
reeves She says any Conservative MP would dare to tell the NHS or care workers to the face that what the country needs is bigger bonuses for bankers.
Trickle-down economics is wrong, she says.
In a turbulent world, companies need governments as partners, so trickle down is wrong. Trickle down is wrong because strong institutions and strong finances provide the foundation for a strong economy. And trickle down is the wrong meeting, because a strong economy requires strong public services. Beat the failed ideas of the past and provide focus, ambition and ideas for the future.
reeves The Tories say they have failed to address the country’s problems for 12 years.
They spent 12 years. did they grow up? No, have they lowered inflation? No, have child poverty improved? No, have they taken down NHS waitlists? No, have they reduced debt and deficits? , that’s 12 years of failure.
reeves She says she wants to buy and sell more and produce more in the UK.
She wants to see the crane lift.
She says this is her real plan for leveling up.
reeves She is a responsible Prime Minister and will become “Britain’s First Green Prime Minister”.
she says labor will generate all of the country’s electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
Blades for Scotland’s largest wind farm are made overseas, she says.
She says green energy jobs should be in the UK.
Workers create a National Wealth Fund, so taxpayers will get a cut when the government invests in new industries, she says. 8:11 am for more information.
Reeves accuses Conservatives of ‘unilateral energy disarmament’
reeves To tell labor We will never waver in our support for Ukraine.
But with government action, the energy crisis worked out.
We are feeling the consequences of the Tories’ 12-year experiment in unilateral energy disarmament.
She says fracking is not the answer. “In Labor, it won’t happen.”
Labor’s green energy plan is the only solution, she says.
Reeves recalls meeting a member last April who was freezing because he couldn’t turn on the heat. Her hands were purple and frozen. She was afraid to turn on the heating because she was worried about her bill.
Reeves says he often thinks this is the reality for people.
Labor has backed a windfall tax to address the problem. But the prime minister spent months resisting her, she says.
