Teaching union demands action over 'failing' pension scheme
The National Association of Head Teachers demands action from the Department for Education (DfE) over the "failing" Teachers' Pension Scheme, facing delays and financial disarray affecting its two million members. With complaints of payment delays, poor communication, and unresolved queries, the union criticizes the scheme's operations. This comes amid concerns raised by retiring educators like Joanne Hurst, whose pension delays have impacted her financial stability and well-being, calling the situation "diabolical."
