Directive to educators in all schools – MUT stops class visits in State, Church and Independent schools
The MUT is receiving consistent information about pressures being made by personnel during class visits with expectations beyond the parameters of agreements. The level of scrutiny on educators on one side, and the breach of terms of the agreements on the other, calls for an immediate action to protect educators and to address the scrutiny of the profession. The MUT is hereby ordering all educators to refrain from accepting class visits by personnel both within the school and by officers outside the school including school review officers. The only exceptions are visits conducted to educators who are still on probation/induction, for progression purposes and class visits to educators following courses. Any undue pressure regarding this directive needs to be reported to the MUT.
