National Education Union conference unanimously votes for strikes against Ofsted workloads
DELEGATES at the National Education Union (NEU) annual conference gave their backing today to strikes over excessive workload pressures caused by Ofsted inspections.
Delegates unanimously endorsed a motion calling on Britain’s largest education union to support members taking strike action “where ‘mocksteds,’ deep dives and excessive workload have arisen through Ofsted pressures.”
They also passed a motion calling for Ofsted to be abolished and replaced by a locally overseen system based on self-evaluation, support and collaboration between schools.
