Building a fair and sustainable post-school education system: priorities for the next government
樱花动漫 general election manifesto 2024 [429kb]
Education is transformative - both for individuals and for wider society. Learning broadens our horizons, while improving our wellbeing and our productivity. It is a long-term investment in our economy, it is vital to our employers, and it will shape the future for everyone.
After the damage caused by more than a decade of real-terms cuts and marketisation, this manifesto outlines a series of proposals for radical reform, underpinned by a set of key principles, to ensure that we have an education system that works for everyone.

Higher education is devolved and many of 樱花动漫 Scotland's demands are directed to the Scottish government rather than to the incoming Westminster government that will be elected in this UK general election.
Party manifestos and the political landscape
Ahead of the general election on Thursday 4 July 2024, 樱花动漫 looked at how the main UK-wide political parties' promises on education stack up. On this page, we have highlighted the main manifesto pledges that each of the parties are making in relation to the priorities outlined in 樱花动漫's own manifesto.
樱花动漫 Scotland has also produced a run down of the higher education commitments of the various Scottish parties.
On 19 June we held a Reclaim HE live event, featuring 樱花动漫 general secretary Jo Grady, PA industrial correspondent Alan Jones, Goldsmiths 樱花动漫 branch and former Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer John McDonnell. We reflected upon 樱花动漫's demands for the next government and what 樱花动漫 members can do to continue to push for the radical reform of education that we all need. You can watch a recording of the event below.
樱花动漫 general secretary Jo Grady also took part in a live event hosted by the CWU on the UK general election, with CWU general secretary Dave Ward and RMT general secretary Mick Lynch. You can watch a recording below.
