FE and Sixth Form Colleges face savage cuts. DFE area reviews will reduce the number of colleges and reduce the quality of provision - reverse the cuts now.

Your regular reminder that by "red tape" they mean your rights at work, sick pay, paid holiday, maternity leave etc. https://t.co/j3fEjiHNO2

Social mobility action plan silent on post-16 general education. Cutting 6th form funding will not help disadvantaged students progress to HE. We need more than narrow focus on technical education #SupportOurSixthFormers

The uncomfortable reality is that thousands of "requires improvement" schools are doing exactly the same things as their "outstanding" counterparts.

Yesterday Philip Hammond failed schools. His budget offers no relief or certainty for headteachers struggling to plug the gaps. This is not good enough. RT if you agree. #schoolcuts #Budget2017 https://t.co/lGlMoTB22C

[Gordon Marsden MBE @GordonMarsden]

Hammond says #Budget2017 he will give £20 million to FE Colleges to bring in T Levels but no time frame given. It s a fleabite compared to cuts Colleges have suffered - and FE needs far more funding to support CPD for staff which we ve pledged

Amazing! Council motion calls for schools in MATS to be allowed to return to local authority. And in meantime calls for genuinely local, locally chosen reps on MATs inc LA nominees. Tide is going out on privatisation. Pls RT https://t.co/hRkZuyjQL3

@FEWeek @AoCDavidH We're all of those things for different people in different circumstances. That's why we're such a remarkable sector!

[Kevin Courtney @cyclingkev]

Wow! This is unprecedented; 5000 head teachers write to Government to protest #schoolcuts. Please RT

.@AnneMilton 6th formers in England are now only funded to
receive 1/2 the tuition time as 6th formers in other leading economies - we hope you are lobbying hard for them! #SupportOurSixthFormers https://t.co/xyYidvVRX6

Principals & Chief Executives of Brighton's 6th Form & FE
Colleges met with the 3 Members of Parliament for the city
