The changes announced today for schools is the right response for schools. Now we wait for the @Ofstednews plans for colleges to ensure that inspections work well for them as well

[Laura McInerney @miss_mcinerney]

This is the only misstep I’ve seen Phillipson make so far.

There is no way colleges can wait until Jan to find out if they can offer BTECs next September.

Open evenings are this term! Ads need designing, staff sorting!

And crucially: this would never happen to A-Levels.

Extend the 5​.​5% Pay Increase To Further Education Staff - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/LcrzI8DXjq via @UKChange

[Sarah Waite @sarahjwaite]

Why does a teacher of a 16-year-old in a school sixth form deserve a pay rise, but not a teacher of a 16-year-old in a college?

If, like me, you think all teachers deserve the pay rise, please sign this petition👇

@sarahjwaite @AoC_info If a college is doing well they can afford larger pay rises, but as funding has fallen behind (only 1 meaningful increase in the last 10 years that I know of) they haven't been able to award pay rises in line with inflation and the gap to our colleagues in schools has widened.

[Fran Bove FSET @franbove]

@sarahjwaite Colleges set their own pay awards. @AoC_info make a recommendation each year and depending on an individual college's financial security they will choose how much (or little) to award.

"The recommended pay of college teachers has declined by 18% in real terms since 2010–11."

Good news for school teachers & junior doctors yesterday. Less so for the wonderful folk who work in FE.

@sarahjwaite Colleges have a different mix of each in their provision - one college might deliver 80%16-19 whilst another delivers 48% 16-19, 40% apprenticeships. Also some colleges have large HE provisions which would also need an increase in funding. 2/2

[Fran Bove FSET @franbove]

@sarahjwaite the problem is the funding mechanism for colleges. For schools it's straightforward - They can increase how much they fund per pupil to meet the increase in teacher's pay. In colleges they would need to increase the funding rate of 16-19, apprenticeships and AEB 1/2

[Sarah Waite @sarahjwaite]

Am hearing that college teachers aren’t included in the latest announcement about pay rises. Obviously it’s great news for schools, but I don’t know how colleges are expected to recruit when the pay gap with schools already stands at £7k on average, before this latest rise. 1/n
