This bill will make a material improvements to the lives of children and educators.
Academies to follow nationally agreed T&Cs ✅️
Auto-academisation gone ✅️
Free school presumption gone ✅️
LAs have the power to open schools ✅️
Qualified Teacher Status for all ✅️
We will continue to press the case for adequate funding, but this is without doubt a significant shift.

What will Labour do on academies?
A 🧵
An incoming labour government has to decide what to do about the school structures that they will inherit; many schools are now in multi academy trust but more remain in local authorities.

14 years of funding cuts later: 7 out of 10 schools in England have less funding in real terms than in 2010.
This election, we're putting school funding on the agenda. We can win back £12.2bn to give every child a decent education. #StopSchoolCuts

School staff are doing the best they can with the limited resources after year on year funding cuts.
But is it any wonder satisfaction with schools has plummeted when 70% of schools have less funding than in 2010?
It's time to restore school funding in England.

Rishi Sunak tells #ITVDebate that the Government is “backing our schools with record investment.” Rishi doesn't seem to know that 70% of schools in England have less funding in real terms than they did in 2010. Help your candidates discover the truth at schoolcuts.org.uk/

1/ ⚠️ Government cuts are leaving school buildings across the country unable to make much-needed repairs.
🧵 Read about the challenges this infant school is facing:

Underneath this is a title: ‘Government cuts leave Milton Keynes Infant school in disrepair.’ Underneath this is a subtitle: ‘Deficit budget, water damage, leaks, and asbestos’.
ALT Case file graphic with beige background with a note pinned by a paper clip. The note reads: “It’s hard to motivate yourself to come to work each day and stay in a job with so many hurdles and daily pressures that prevent you from doing what you trained to do - care for children, teach them and provide them with a high quality education and love of learning.”

For over a decade, education has been underfunded. It is imperative that all political parties address this in their manifestos. #VoteEducation #InvestInEducation
