Director of Higher Education at NCG the first FE college group in the U.K to be awarded indefinite Degree Awarding Powers by the OfS.. views my own.

Welsh man - @michaelsheen - passionately quoting Nye Bevan on the NHS at Glastonbury is absolutely a thing that will make me cry. Currently reading "Working Class Wives" - the 1930's survey on womens' health pre-NHS - and, with no medical provision, huge amounts of women had prolapsed uteruses, untreated cancers, anxiety, depression, exhaustion, and no hope of help whatsoever.

Did you know that we've just become the first further education college group to be granted permanent awarding powers for taught degrees up to masters level?

Read all about it in this FE Week story:

@StephenWanUK #WSPGEvents regarding T level destinations just a reminder to the DfE - T levels do not only lead to jobs or Uni when many/most of these students will actually move onto #HTQ s in the HE in FE sector to further to develop their tech skills and work readiness.

@evornithology @AcademicChatter Peer mentoring, relational pedagogies (Walker-Gleaves care exemplifiers), showing students we care and they matter in their transition into HE, in our teaching and in our tutorials, challenging the normalisation of 1st sub failure in modules, an effective academic support team.

Dear Sajid,

We already pay for GP and A&E visits through tax and national insurance.

Hope that helps.

Extra funding for *schools* vital. However, the FE sector is not receiving a penny. Impact disproportionally hits non-academic qualifications and students from disadvantaged soc economic groups. Levelling down at its most blatant.

[Nicky Turnbull @NCL_HE]

@RobMarchetto I think the last paragraph says it all.

[David Robinson @DavidR0bins0n]

Disappointing that, whilst the schools budget is protected, there was no further funding commitments on post-16 in the Autumn statement. No rationale at all for why students in their last year or two of compulsory ed/training are treated so differently.

As Eton coming to the Tees Valley seems to be going ahead, a little evidenced-informed thread to highlight why I feel the move is wrong & it won't have an impact on the majority of people the initiative aims to help - the area's disadvantaged young people......

@RethinkingJames Could this be a metaphor for studying for a doctorate @PhDVoice
