Teachers to vote on action
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A teachers' union is to ballot members on taking industrial action to cut the red tape which it says wastes time.
The National Association of Schoolmasters/Union of Women Teachers executive committee decided to take the step after it said the Government failed to act on the recommendations to cut unnecessary bureaucracy in teaching. Teachers were to be asked to stop completing a range of paper work including some types of school reports but they would still provide short reports on children. Ballot forms are due to be sent to union members later this term and a result is expected before the Easter school holiday.
