Very heartening Lords' response to the King's Speech, with several peers calling on government to support music and the creative industries. Good to see them raising many issues the ISM campaigns on, including Brexit and music education.
Hear Lord Berkeley’s speech below 👇
This is really sensible. Welcome news, and something that colleagues across FE snd HE can now engage on to ensure smooth transition to new or revised qualifications.
Breaking: The new government has paused reforms to post-16 qualifications at level 3 and below, halting the planned defunding of some BTECs and other alternatives to T-levels

SOS call for @GoldsmithsUoL Leadership. The savings gained at end of July will be spent, and then some, by October. By then, it will have been cheaper to do nothing. It is illogical. Making big decisions in a panic never leads to good outcomes. A final call: please think again.
The details of what is happening in Music at Goldsmiths are brutal. As things stand they will lose a collaborative Leverhulme Doctoral College grant (7 funded PhDs) and an AHRC grant. Staff FTE reduced by 35%. Negative impacts on curriculum and pastoral care cannot be avoided.
Universities are facing a financial crisis before the new academic year with an analysis finding that scores will have to cut courses, shut departments and put thousands of jobs at risk ⬇️ https://t.co/Fe2JNJ8cPv
The situation at @GoldsmithsUoL is extremely worrying. We are supporting colleagues in a very delicate moment. @GoldsmithsMusic has been and remains an outstanding music department.
Devastating news for music students & staff at @GoldsmithsMusic. The planned redundancies will leave huge gaps in provision & swift decline is the inevitable outcome. The whole funding system is broken but this cannot be the answer.
