'Get on with it' Education is told by teachers' unions

Two of the leading unions, the NASUWT and the National Union of Teachers, have both called on Education, Sports & Culture, and the States as a whole, to move forward with plans for all-ability secondary education – after a second vote in just nine months to bring an end to the 11-plus.
General secretary of the NASUWT, Chris Keates, said it hoped the States' narrow vote last week – by 21 to 19 – was the end to the States U-turning.
