NASUWT: Welcomes building schools for the future ruling
Commenting on the six councils that have won their High Court challenge over the Coalition Government’s decision to scrap the Building Schools for the Future programme, Chris Keates, General Secretary of the NASUWT, the largest teachers’ union, said:
“The councils involved are to be congratulated for making a stand on this issue.
“The Coalition Government has shown time and again a reckless disregard for due process and consultation.
“Teachers, pupils, parents, and local councils were all sidelined. Since 12 May, programmes, grants and organisations have been thoughtlessly abolished with little, if any, regard for the consequences.
“BSF was a classic example of this, and it’s now come back to bite the Secretary of State.”
