Glasgow City College spent almost £14k on a trip to Tartan Week, a freedom of information request has revealed. Meanwhile, staff at home raised concerns about being refused protective equipment to do their jobs. Read the story in full: https://t.co/nbasfmjnG8

Colleges have asked for money for years, now it is different. “To make a balanced budget, college leaders know that they will have to face decisions that will either harm the education of their students or close campuses.” https://t.co/UU2XHIBadt

@CelticFCTickets never mind - it’s appeared now!

@CelticFCTickets should I be able to see my ticket for Scottish cup semi final on the Hampden app now? Email said it would be visible 7 days before the match, but currently nothing is showing up.

@GuptaeSingh @_lecturerglas @StudentActionFE You’re right though, we can still reject it. I’ll wait and see what comes through and take it from there.

[Claire @cr_fitz]

@GuptaeSingh @_lecturerglas @StudentActionFE I’m exhausted with it all. I suppose I’d be happy with upwards of 5% for year 4, but I’m not sure we’re going to be offered that. What would you be happy with?

[Claire @cr_fitz]

@GuptaeSingh @_lecturerglas @StudentActionFE Yes, but I’m assuming that they already have an idea of content of offer, or they wouldn’t have suspended strike action.

[Claire @cr_fitz]

@TheDonMacKay @DflatedLecturer @EISFela It’s been communicated now via email - suspended this week 👍🏼

[Claire @cr_fitz]

@DeniseMunro7 @EISFela No mention of this so far…

[Claire @cr_fitz]

@MrMcEnaney Would be nice if this act of good faith was reciprocated with suspension of deeming by colleges. No communication on this so far…

This is embarrassing - colleges are about to go on all out strike following an extended dispute which these two hopeless ministers have shown zero interest in resolving and here they are posing for photos outside a college - you couldn’t mark their necks with a blowtorch

For anyone looking for an explanation as to why we are where we are in FE, this article explains it, for new & returning college students the best thing you can do to support lecturers is join us on a picket 👍🏻 @EISFela @EISFELA_SLC @nusuk https://t.co/ik7ZbdBYPB

Read this from May 2024

Then read the shameful words of @CollEmployScot

[Sharon MacGregor she/her @shaz_mac]

It appears that both College Employers Scotland and the Scottish Government are so bloody-minded that they would rather see the college sector collapse than engage in meaningful negotiations. This is nothing short of union-bashing…’

A reminder of the quest for fair pay for @EISFela lecturers & strike action that ensued.

Strike action commences again, as from next week & many lecturers penalised further by unscrupulous bosses, as they take part in action short of strike.
