We are campaigning to make 2009 the last year of SATs because teachers should be allowed to teach and children should be allowed to learn.

NUT steps up campaign. On 11 January Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, Ed Balls received a special delivery of 17,500 postcards from NUT members and supporters.

The NUT has been consistent and concerted in its opposition to plans for teachers to undergo relicensing every five years since this was first proposed by the Government in June of last year.
