A motion due to be debated at the National Education Union conference accuses Israel’s government of being ‘racist’.
NEU general secretary Daniel Kebede said schools were ‘the best place for young people to talk about difficult subjects’
The ongoing war in Gaza was sparked by Hamas’s deadly raid into Israel on October 7 that killed 1,200 people and saw militants seize about 250 hostages. The motion calls on the union’s executive to reaffirm its support for PSC and Stop the War Coalition and support campaigning “to defend the right to pursue boycott, divestment and sanctions tactics”.
Department for Education guidance says teachers should avoid expressing their own political views to pupils unless they are confident it will not amount to promoting that view to pupils.
