Teachers Union Sayin' Our Schools Starvin': Labour Ain't Showin' Love To The Kiddos
NEU leader Daniel Kebede callin' out the government for lettin' down our kids, sayin' they ain't puttin' no respek on education, and the Green Party might got the answers.

Yo, what's good, fam? Listen up, cause this ain't no cap. The National Education Union (NEU), that's the teachers union, is straight up sayin' our schools ain't gettin' the love they need. My man Daniel Kebede, he the general secretary, went off on the Labour government, sayin' they ain't doin' right by our kids. He dropped that truth bomb at the NEU's conference in Brighton.
Kebede ain't holdin' back, ya dig? He sayin' the government's education policies ain't cuttin' it. He sayin' schools 'running on empty.' That means no resources, no support, teachers stressed, and our kids sufferin'. And guess what? He hintin' at switchin' support to the Green Party. That's heavy.
He pointed out that 65% of NEU members who voted Labour in 2024 ain't gonna do it again. That's a whole lotta people fed up, real talk. Folks ain't feelin' seen or heard. They see the schools fallin' apart, and the government ain't doin' nothin' but talkin'.
Now, this Green Party dude, Zack Polanski, he stepped on stage and got a standin' ovation. Why? Cause he promised some real change. He talkin' 'bout gettin' rid of Ofsted (that's the school inspectors), pumpin' some serious cash into schools, and endin' this academisation thing. The teachers feelin' him cause he talkin' 'bout buildin' up the education system, not tearin' it down.
Kebede even called out the government's so-called special needs plan. He said it's destined to fail 'cause they ain't puttin' enough money where it needs to be. They promise inclusion, but they starvin' the services that make it real. That's like sayin' you gonna feed the block, but only givin' 'em crumbs.
He sayin' classrooms is the frontline of every problem in our society. Kids comin' to school hungry, anxious, and with special needs that ain't gettin' met. It's a struggle out here, and the government ain't makin' it no easier. It's a setup.
So, what's the solution? Kebede ain't afraid to say it: a strike. He sayin' if the government don't listen, they gonna shut it down. Teachers ain't playin' no more. They votin' on a strike right now, and if it goes through, it's gonna be a problem for real. The government need to listen, and they need to listen now.
The government can talk all they want 'bout improvin' schools, but the streets ain't buyin' it. Our kids need resources. Our teachers need support. And our community needs a government that's gonna put the education system first, not last. It's time for some real change, ya heard?
