NEU leader Kebede puts ‘any incoming Labour government on notice’

The leader of Britain’s largest education union has put any incoming Labour government “on notice” as he called for education to be prioritised.

Daniel Kebede, general secretary of the National Education Union (NEU), warned politicians that the union was prepared to take “further industrial action” if teachers are not given a deal on pay and funding.

In his first speech to the union’s annual conference as general secretary, Mr Kebede said the Labour Party’s promises for education were “a long way off from the scale of change”
