In a particularly short-sighted move, the government has decided to try to balance its books by cutting front-line services in primary education. This will damage the educational outcomes of all children in our schools, target the most vulnerable and lead to further disruption and funding difficulties.
Educate Together has joined together with all national organisations in primary education to oppose these cuts and to campaign for their reversal.
