National Union of Teachers (NUT)

The National Union of Teachers (NUT) was a prominent trade union in the United Kingdom, founded in 1870, representing teachers in various educational settings. It aimed to advocate for the rights, interests, and working conditions of teachers, promoting educational standards and fighting for fair pay and professional development. The NUT played a significant role in shaping education policy and addressing issues such as job security and workload. In 2017, the NUT merged with the Association of Teachers and Lecturers to form the National Education Union (NEU), which continues to represent educators across England and Wales.
