Today our GS met with the Chancellor. She stressed the importance of FE to the government’s plans for economic recovery, and how these won’t be achieved without proper investment and a pay rise. They also spoke about the need for an entirely new funding framework for HE.

We are deeply concerned at the closure of People's Story. A vital part of Edinburgh's working class history. Our General Secretary will be writing to the Council this weekend to register our protest. We stand ready to work with those who are campaigning to reverse this decision

This looks fascinating! But Haverfordwest isn't a central location, even for Wales.
Our latest exhibition, Peacemakers, is now open at The Riverside Gallery, Haverfordwest. Celebrating Wales’s rich history of involvement in peace work and initiatives, the exhibition brings to life the stories of extraordinary individuals and movements.

Skills England published their first paper. Good skills stuff but minimised lifelong learning to a bit of HE. While this paper really explains the power of lifelong learning. ⁦@Jacqui_Smith1⁩ if you combine both we would have a brilliant LLL policy ucu.org.uk/article/13731/Har…

I’m deeply alarmed by reports that a large number of communication devices exploded across Lebanon & Syria, killing at least 11 people, including children, and injuring thousands. All actors must exercise maximum restraint to avert any further escalation.
