Teachers will debate whether a union should publish and circulate educational resources to “increase understanding of Palestine and Israel”.
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. Schools are the best place for young people to talk about difficult subjects, but I think there is a nervousness amongst the profession “It’s a very sensitive issue. Very difficult. In our union, we’ve been very clear that we absolutely condemn the attack from Hamas and the taking of hostages.”
Mr Kebede, who is due to speak at a Palestine solidarity demonstration on Saturday, said: “I think the majority of the public clearly want a ceasefire. They want to see humanitarian aid flow into Gaza.Conservative MP Robert Halfon, who resigned as minister for skills, apprenticeships and higher education this week, said: “Perhaps the NEU should concentrate on teaching and education.”
