School leaders are due to tell MPs that they have been scapegoated for Government failures during the pandemic instead of receiving praise for working on the front line during a time of national crisis.
Diana Ohene-Darko, an assistant headteacher and acting deputy headteacher at two London primary schools, will tell MPs on Wednesday that instead of being “hailed as heroes”, teachers had been “unfairly criticised to hide Government failure”.
Ms Ohene-Darko, who sits on the NAHT national committee, will call for the teaching profession to be “given back the credibility it deserves”.
