In spite of attempts by the government to say otherwise,
yesterday’s national strike by the NUT was a huge display of strength. Not only was there a fantastic response from
teachers across the country but the NUT clearly won over a huge proportion of parents
and the public.
Part of this is to do with the fact that we won the
arguments with government in the media.
Interview after interview showed the NUT come out positively in the face
of government intransigence.
