A child in Haiti with cholera â the NEU teaching union is critical of the Tory government which is slashing the foreign aid budget
âTHERE is no place for famine and starvation in the 21st century,â teachers representing the National Education Union (NEU) are insisting this week: âHistory will judge us all by the actions we take today.â
Criticising a UK government statement/plan to cut UK international aid from 0.7 to 0.5% of Gross National Income, NEU joint general secretary Dr Mary Bousted has warned: âGovernment plans for slashing overseas aid are indefensible â¦
âThese cuts will shave a whisker off UK borrowing, but bring deep devastation to the lives of the worldâs most marginalised people, precisely when global solidarity is most needed.
