@HCFEprincipal Fantastic facility for the town and the region. Well done, boss, on leading this and such a fitting touch to Alby too. Touch of class ππ»
Iβm struggling to understand how teaching post 16 qualifications in a school is worth more than teaching the exact same qualifications and more in a college when we are all public sector.
We need to put respect for ALL teachers at the heart of the education and skills system.
Fantastic news for the sector and most importantly the 1000s of young people who were set to be disadvantaged as a result of this. Well done @bphillipsonMP and well done @HCFEprincipal for being a consistent campaigner for this ππ»ππ»ππ»

Great intent @Jacqui_Smith1 πππ
You do know that in a few weeks' time there will be no level 3 qualifications in many areas such as electrical installation - skills on which the economy depends. The T Levels which replace these quals aren't adequate.
A day trip to a research and testing facility went off with a bang for students on our new engineering T-Level. The group visitedΒ @DNV_Group in SpadeadamΒ as part of a series of site visits to improve their industry knowledge.

Itβs #CollegesWeek2024 and with a week to go until the spring budget we are asking government to:
Mind the skills gap
Make a down payment on ABS
These steps will allow colleges to play an even bigger role in a strong society and a growing economy. @AoC_info#loveourcolleges
