Tom RogersHOST
And a ban on school culture or identity days.
Tom RogersHOST
And I know the NEU, I know Daniel Kebede's hit out at this and said that this is insulting to teachers.
Tom RogersHOST
And it's also getting away from the issues that, you know, they want to talk about.
Tom RogersHOST
So what do we think? I mean, I dug out some stuff that she was referring to.
Tom RogersHOST
So 2025, there was a meeting of the NEU.
Tom RogersHOST
So the NEU have come under particular fire.
Tom RogersHOST
They've come under fire from reform.
Tom RogersHOST
They've come under fire from other people within the education sector for this.
LucyHOST
Stay wild.
LucyHOST
[upbeat music] In the latest survey of the National Education Union members conducted ahead of the annual conference in Brighton, 10,715 teaching members and 3,274 support staff members gave their views on pupil behavior in schools.
LucyHOST
Two-thirds, so 66% of state school teachers in England, say pupil behavior has a negative impact on learning in lessons either regularly or all the time.
LucyHOST
Teachers reference a lack of resources and staffing, unmet needs of students with regard to SEND, and the impact of social media use among what they feel are some of the main causes of behavior that challenges.
Becky FoljambeGUEST
Have you heard of that campaign? No, I heard you talk about it before.
Becky FoljambeGUEST
So Big Tech Little Victims has been championed by the National Education Union, but it is a coalition of other organisations which we're proud to be part of as well.
Becky FoljambeGUEST
And the Centre for Young Lives today has announced the first ever national study of how look-smacking, so all this really unhealthy, toxic advice that's being funnelled at our young men, how that's impacting on them.
Becky FoljambeGUEST
And they've released a brilliant report today, which I'd really recommend that people read.

Peru Teachers to Strike from twenty-ninth of October by Luke Woodward.
speaker_0NARRATOR
On July the twenty-twenty-sixth, I traveled to Peru and contacted SUTEP, uh, Sindicato Unitario de Trabajadores de la Educacion del Peru, to meet in solidarity and find out about education workers' struggles in the country and share news about our own workplace struggles through the NEU, National Education Union.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Following a meeting with the national executive in Lima, I was put in touch with districts in Iquitos in the north of the country and Arequipa in the south.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Founded in nineteen twenty-seven, SUTEP is the largest union representing education workers in Peru and a membership of around three hundred and seventy thousand teachers and fourteen thousand support staff SUTEP is a class conscious union heavily influenced by Peruvian Marxist thinker José Carlos Mariátegui.
Charlie TaylorHOST
A national industrial dispute could be coordinated with other education workers.
Charlie TaylorHOST
The National Education Union, or NEU, is balloting members at the end of the year in a comparable dispute with the Secretary of State.
Charlie TaylorHOST
A window is opening for a major national industrial confrontation over the state of education, the likes of which was never experienced by Keith Thoma, but could seriously test Andy Burnham's government.
Charlie TaylorHOST
If university workers are to succeed in this strategy, it will need to make clear that the fight over higher education is not only about the jobs and conditions of lecturers.
Connor TomlinsonHOST
And also, we know for a fact the public sector unions are involved in organising Stand Up to Racism and their various anti-racist pro-migration marches.
Connor TomlinsonHOST
One such union is the National Education Union.
Connor TomlinsonHOST
So, teachers...
Connor TomlinsonHOST
in your children's classrooms are funding the union that sends stand-up-to-racism materials to their homes.
Connor TomlinsonHOST
So if you're in one of those unions, immediately leave it.
Connor TomlinsonHOST
And until we get a government that is willing to prescribe that group, defund those public sector unions and prosecute everyone involved... we're going to have to keep putting up with this.
Connor TomlinsonHOST
And again, I wouldn't hold my breath in the Labour government doing anything about this, because those are the political action committees for the Labour Party, and because, as GB News interviewed this morning, The General Secretary of the National Education Union, Daniel Kabidi, is at Labour Party conference.
Connor TomlinsonHOST
Daniel Kabidi is the Vice President of Stand Up to Racism.
Tatton SpillerHOST
Yesterday, the National Education of U- the ...
Tatton SpillerHOST
Yesterday, the National Education Union called off, uh, balloting for strike action because the government coughed up some money, 'cause it had been that schools had to fund some pay rises out of exist- existing school budgets.
Tatton SpillerHOST
And as we know, there is no existing school budget.
Tatton SpillerHOST
They've got no money.
Tatton SpillerHOST
So, uh, then the government said, "No, we'll pay for it." So that's, that's a real win for the National Education Union and shows the power of the unions, but it also shows this, this Labour government listening to unions, which is ...
Tatton SpillerHOST
So it's all quite interesting.
Tatton SpillerHOST
There we go.
Connor TomlinsonHOST
Stand Up To Racism are the violent foot soldiers of the British state.
Connor TomlinsonHOST
So Daniel Kabady, who is Stand Up To Racism's vice president, is the general secretary of the National Education Union.
Connor TomlinsonHOST
So he's in charge of the union for the teachers that are teaching your, our children.
Connor TomlinsonHOST
One of the reasons why I'm homeschooling my children as long as possible.
Connor TomlinsonHOST
And if you go to their page on Together Against the Far Right, they're sort of organizing committee and their constant marches against things like Unite the Kingdom or any of the anti-illegal migrant protests.
Connor TomlinsonHOST
They name members of their coalition.
Connor TomlinsonHOST
This is on the National Education Union's website, by the way.
Connor TomlinsonHOST
So just disband this public sector union.
