Francesca Manning: Teacher and NEU Activist

  • Summary

  • Francesca Manning has been a primary school teacher for four years. She is a union rep for the National Education Union, and is active with her local NEU committee in South London.

    As the death toll from Covid-19 continues to rise, parents and teachers are grappling with the UK government’s target to re-open schools to children beyond those of key workers by 1st June.

    We discussed how damaging it could be to children to re-open schools too quickly, what union organising has been like under the global Coronavirus pandemic, and how we could reimagine education to better include all children in the new normal of the future.
