This week is National Colleges Week (15-19 October) and I am proud of my time at @CitynIslington College. My college helped me get to where I am today. I wish everyone the best for this week. #LoveOurColleges
Great to see #LoveourColleges trending in the UK. Positive messages from colleges all over my timeline. Impressed with how @AoC_info@ucu@nusuk et al have mobilised the sector 🙌
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.....as a society we don’t give enough recognition to the students doing vocational/technical education and the colleges that supports them. Let’s give the FE sector the love it deserves. #LoveOurColleges
I have been in Parliament this morning for an APPG on ‘the importance of student engagement’ !
It was great! Excited to bring feedback from this meeting back to DMU! 🌸
Great to be in Parliament today & talk to Philip Augar @APPGStudents about the extortionate travel costs faced by our teachers, nurses and paramedics. Thanks @NUSUK for organising!
Brilliant meeting of the APPG for Students with the Philip Auger and student reps. Hugely impressed with the range of institutions from FE and HE across the U.K. All raising issues of huge salience to students, particularly those form the poorest backgrounds. Thanks @nusuk! https://t.co/HEeIaRGbVW
Fantastic discussions today with Philip Augar on the Post-18 education review & importance of the student voice. Thanks to all those student reps who attended from across the country! And not forgetting our Members @CarolineLucas@MattWestern_@RupaHuq
Students from working-class backgrounds face a #povertypremium often paying more to access post-16 education. It's not good enough. #ClassDismissed https://t.co/rcEx1hMXyT
Shakira Martin from @nusuk: 'Students stand with you to defend pay, and to defend pensions - we stand strong and firm, side by side with our lecturers and support staff' #ussstrike#ucustrike
