SEA
is the only educational organisation affiliated to the Labour Party but it
has serious concerns about some of the Government's policies. Anyone who
does not belong to another political party may join as an individual
member. Affiliation to the SEA is open to national organisations, Labour
Party CLPs and trade unions. SEA members include MPs, school governors, local Councillors, teachers, students, parents - in fact anyone with an interest in education. Our President is the eminent educationalist Professor Richard Pring. AIMS of the S.E.A.
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE S.E.A. IS HERE HISTORY The Association has a proud history. Since its inception as the National Association of Labour Teachers in the 1920s, it has grown into a broader church and been re-named the “Socialist Educational Association”. Over the years the SEA has fought and won many battles for a socialist perspective on education within the Labour Party. Today, with the Labour Party in government, it remains "a critical friend". The Association is organised on a structure of Branches, each Branch being loosely based on an LEA area. The Association has a National Executive Committee which meets 8 times a year at different venues throughout the country - any member of SEA is eligible and welcome to attend NEC meetings. The NEC is comprised of nationally elected members: Officers, plus 8 women and 8 men; together with delegates from the branches. ANNUAL CONFERENCE The Association has its own Annual conference usually held in June each year. All SEA members are encouraged to attend, either as part of their branch delegation or as individual members. Conference is held at a different venue each year. The S.E.A. Constitution prescribes that "Resolutions passed at Annual or Special Conferences shall be implemented by the National Executive Committee (NEC). Matters requiring decisions between conferences shall be determined by the NEC, wherever possible following consultation with members."
