NUT EDUCATION MANIFESTO

Early day motion 208, tabled 12 November 2007 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 23 members.

That this House welcomes the publication of an education manifesto by the National Union of Teachers (NUT), 'A Good Local School for Every Child and for Every Community'; notes the proposals on promoting international co-operation in education, improving per pupil funding, local accountability, and teacher training and development; further welcomes the call for all schools to be reintegrated into the maintained sector so that the education system promotes community cohesion; and therefore calls on the Government to engage with the NUT to improve education policy.

Signatures by party: Labour 20, Independent 2, Respect 1.
