Britain’s largest teaching union rejects key recommendation of government-backed antisemitism review
The NEU suggested that the adoption of the IHRA definition across the educational sector ‘risks deepening the problem’
Assessment
The NEU's rejection puts the largest teaching union at odds with a government-backed review that called for the IHRA definition to be adopted across education. The union argues that this adoption risks deepening the problem, a direct challenge to the review's approach. Watch for the government's response and whether other teaching bodies follow the NEU's lead.
