Teaching union ATL general secretary Mary Bousted challenged the Labour Party at the weekend to reverse the chaotic Tory education policies fuelling inequality.
Ms Bousted told the Campaign for State Education (Case) conference on Saturday that Education Secretary Michael Gove had created a twin crisis in school places and teacher supply which he was unable to solve.
And the leader of Britain's third-largest teaching union challenged shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt to "take on the Daily Mail."
With 170,000 children living in poverty in north-east England and teachers leaving in droves over 20 per cent real-terms pay cuts since 2010, all while private companies siphon off billions, it is time to unite and fight for education, writes MATT WRACK
