I'm Emma, your Education Officer at @ManchesterSU. I’m hoping to make Education more exciting this year and to make the University take students more seriously.
Edinburgh University has announced that it will divest from fossil fuels entirely within the next 3 years, following a meeting of the University Court.
Was there a youthquake at last year's election? Yes, said the polls, including @YouGov and @IpsosMori. No, say @BESResearch this week. Sorry, BES, you have not proved your case. See my blog for @Prospect https://t.co/v1tu3UmxdS

More news about fascinating new research which has found that #GE2017 turnout was ‘wildly underestimated’, this time in @TheEconomist. Experts including @ProfJaneGreen, @jon_mellon and @caprosser carried out the study with colleagues from @UniofOxford https://t.co/hulB0V71JM
It's amazing how many people still think university tuition fees are higher in the US than the UK https://t.co/25ZJcF8Rjt @u12mam9@BenKentish@Independent https://t.co/qswG4C52ii
Ok but the value of international students shouldn't just be talked about in monetary terms. It makes them into cash cows and sidelines all the other incredible things they bring to the country https://t.co/yZ6rJqWJ8k
International students are worth £310 net for EVERY UK resident - £20billion net. EVERY parliamentary constituency gains. Please share this with your MP and make clear: #weareinternational https://t.co/IYAEJVhu9b

Take a moment to think about @JoJohnsonUK 's staff who have had to work on announcements for the Office for Students on Boxing Day and New Year's Day (both bank holidays) cos their boss has no life/friends and the OfS is his vanity project
Am usually happy to congratulate constituents achievements but the completely partisan Toby Young of Acton (whose west London free school’s gone through 4 heads in 6 years) appointed as regulator onto board of so-called Office for Students with no student representatives stinks https://t.co/lpSy783OYf
Just when things couldn’t get worse for the Government, they appoint Toby Young of educational discrimination acclaim and not a singe academic or student to the Office for Students. Can anything get worse for our university sector? Govt have lost the plot and it’s only 1 Jan
Which one isn’t on the board of the new Office for Students?
1. Toby Young
2. A former executive of HSBC bank 3. A managing director of Boots.
4. A representative from the National Union of Students.
Yep it’s 4. 😳
