Teaching assistants are the backbone of our education system, they help teachers to teach and they support those kids most in need.
Not content with imposing real terms pay cuts and job losses on schools support staff this undemocratic Tory government now want to rip the beating heart out of schools and are going after teaching assistants - the majority of whom are low paid, part time, women workers.
In a leaked briefing paper between Downing Street and the DFE, the government set out plans to drastically cut teaching assistant numbers.
The GMB will fight tooth and nail to defend these essential workers - the heroines and heroes of the classroom.
Please sign our petition to tell the Government that you stand with school support staff and you value the vital role they play in educating our kids.
