M26: What happened and what happens next?

Published 27/3/14 on Education for the People blog and 29/3/14 in the Morning Star as Top Tactics from the NUT:

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.
