News & Politics
In this episode we talk to Anne-Marie Hickling and Amanda Bentham who are teachers and National Educational Union (NEU) members about the impact SATS are having on primary school education. This is pertinent as the NEU are holding an indicative ballot of primary school teachers to boycott the tests. We hear about what impact the testing regime has had on children and teachers alike and broader discussion about how education has suffered under successive Tory governments. We also have an update on upcoming events and campaigns in Hackney.
