EY expert @SwailesRuth had her invitation to speak at a @educationgovuk funded event inexplicably rescinded. What happened next will come as a shock to Brits who still believe they live in a free society. @YorksBylines @BylineTimes https://t.co/24vyS6AFDS

What a fabulous morning I’ve had, speaking @coleggwent. Beautiful setting, great #networking, bit of #research chat (downplaying that part) & even a few treats to take home. Why can’t every Monday be like this (minus getting up at 4am & train cancellations) 🤔

Had 1 of the most productive days I’ve had in almost 12 months today… focuses included #PGCE employability conference @wlv_education coming next week, @LSRNetwork #Birmingham #conference in April & finalising video edit of my own #SEND #research for @FETransforms

[Chantal Brown @FE_ChanB]

Little bit excited, little bit terrified, a lot of ‘imposter syndrome’ thoughts floating around my head. But doing 1 of them conference thingies (trying to play it down a bit 📖🤦🏽‍♀️) #LSRN #FEresearch #HEFEresearch #SEND #outcomes #FETransforms

Desperately sad. This will be disastrous for UK science.

[Professor Bob Harrison @BobHarrisonEdu]

@SLPLearn @NorthernCollege @GordonMarsden @right2_learn @Learners_Forum Just stepped down as Co-chair of governors @NorthernCollege after twenty years. The last few years have been a real struggle to keep Adult residential education sustainable especially with 50% cuts to budgets. Testimony to the staff and Principals

[Ruth Spellman @RuthSpellman14]

As a supporter of @right2_learn and the WEA we endorse collaboration between education providers and long term investment. Since 2010 the budget for adult education has halved, many colleges are struggling and labour shortages are crippling our economy. We deserve better
