Ed Miliband speaking at New Statesman Reception last night.Very lively audience all ages heard so positive for Ed’s brief on Net Zero. @Right2 Learn believe great chances for SMEs -wind,waves,biomass w apprentices ,NEETs & reskilling adult learners - Blackpool & Coastal Areas

EY expert @SwailesRuth had her invitation to speak at a @educationgovuk funded event inexplicably rescinded. What happened next will come as a shock to Brits who still believe they live in a free society. @YorksBylines @BylineTimes yorkshirebylines.co.uk/society/cancel…

What a fabulous morning I’ve had, speaking @coleggwent. Beautiful setting, great #networking, bit of #research chat (downplaying that part) & even a few treats to take home. Why can’t every Monday be like this (minus getting up at 4am & train cancellations) 🤔

“The government has frequently said it follows the recommendations of independent pay bodies. If we don’t have the 6.5% award as a bare minimum, it will be impossible to put qualified teachers in front of classes”: ⁦@juliecmcculloch⁩ ⁦@ASCL_UK⁩ tes.com/magazine/news/…

Touché:

Here we go! Just some of the faces you’ll see this weekend if heading to #LSRN23. #FEresearch #FEHEresearch

Had 1 of the most productive days I’ve had in almost 12 months today… focuses included #PGCE employability conference @wlv_education coming next week, @LSRNetwork #Birmingham #conference in April & finalising video edit of my own #SEND #research for @FETransforms

Little bit excited, little bit terrified, a lot of ‘imposter syndrome’ thoughts floating around my head. But doing 1 of them conference thingies (trying to play it down a bit 📖🤦🏽‍♀️) #LSRN #FEresearch #HEFEresearch #SEND #outcomes #FETransforms

Desperately sad. This will be disastrous for UK science.

During the 2022 audit we identified 60 communities relevant to research within #FE, including places to share your research @ARPCEresearch @FENews @inSPIRE_FE @FETransforms @theukfechat @PDNorth_FE #AmplifyFEspace Learn more - linkedin.com/pulse/supporti… #AmplifyFE

Translation: the British government has made a conscious choice to inflict harm on the NHS in the hope they can privatise it.

"So this stuff really works?"

Hear Me, See Me FE Research Event @sandwellcollege booking link 15th November- 6.15pm lnkd.in/ePPFVxsJ Highlights from last year 👇🏽 #FEResearch #TransformFE #SCRN

@SLPLearn @NorthernCollege @GordonMarsden @right2_learn @Learners_Forum Just stepped down as Co-chair of governors @NorthernCollege after twenty years. The last few years have been a real struggle to keep Adult residential education sustainable especially with 50% cuts to budgets. Testimony to the staff and Principals

As a supporter of @right2_learn and the WEA we endorse collaboration between education providers and long term investment. Since 2010 the budget for adult education has halved, many colleges are struggling and labour shortages are crippling our economy. We deserve better
