✝️🟣 UKIP believe that reform must be far reaching and permanent, better reflecting the realities of how we now do politics, recognising that, despite our elaborate voting 🗳️ rituals, the British system is not, in any meaningful sense, a functioning democracy. This must change. Central to national resilience is a functioning democracy. Political stability is contingent on responsive government. As such, every act of constitutional vandalism since 1997 must be reversed. We then need constitutional safeguards, locked by referendum, to ensure that never again can Parliament give away powers that were not theirs to give away. ukip.org 🇬🇧✝️ Wishing everyone all the very best for Christmas 🎅🏻 & the new year 🥂✨ Together with everyone here at @UKIP we will take our country back 🇬🇧👊🏻

✝️🟣 UKIP believes the degree requirement for all teachers is unnecessary. A degree is no longer a measure of intelligence or ability. The requirement excludes individuals with a natural aptitude. We believe that children & young people should be exposed to a wider variety of adults with different life experiences rather than individuals who have never existed outside of the education system. We would implement a probationary scheme to broaden and improve the recruitment pool, & those who demonstrate aptitude will be invited to join a two year vocational teaching qualification programme. This is partly with a view to recruiting more male teachers. We would retain the degree standard for senior ranks. UKIP would also consider in-post training and qualification or teachers, through a network of approved ‘teaching schools’, operating on a similar basis to teaching hospitals. All teacher applicants will require vetting of their previous political associations prior to training. Once qualified, teachers will be subject to the same annual check by their employer to ensure they remain politically impartial, so children & young people are not indoctrinated with one person’s political views. For example, membership of any far-left, Marxist or Communist movement could result in a lifetime ban from the profession following an investigation. 🟣✝️ ukip.org ✝️ Together with everyone here at @UKIP we will take our country back 👊🏻🇬🇧 Looking forward to the last UKIP demo of the year 🇬🇧🟣
