Why teachers are right to fight education cuts

As far back as I can remember the media was always dominated in the week after Easter by the various teachers’ conferences.

They were invariably almost always characterised by fire and brimstone and the various unions threatening industrial action for one reason or another.

This week’s conferences probably have been a bit more vitriolic than normal, and regardless of one’s ideological pre-disposition, one cannot but feel that the teachers have more right on their side on this occasion than normally.
