Teachers do not think schools will improve after election, a TES survey reveals
Despite education policies being a major part of party pledges, the majority of teachers do not expect any improvement to schools after the general election, a Tes survey has revealed.
Tes surveyed 1,222 primary, secondary, FE and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) teachers.
Seventy-five per cent said they did not expect schools to improve as a result of the general election.
The survey asked them to indicate which party they planned to vote for. The results suggest the majority of the teacher vote will be Labour, with 65 per cent of correspondents supporting Jeremy Corbyn's party. In comparison, 51 per cent said they voted Labour in 2015.
