@ucu - Two-day strike at 49 prisons begins tomorrow  

A report published today (Thursday) by the University and College Union (@UCU) and National Education Opportunities Network (@NEONHE) says a move to post-qualifications applications (#PQA) is essential in creating a fairer, student centred university admissions system. It also shows how the move could lower excessive workloads for school, college and university staff.

The University and College Union (@UCU) will hold a public meeting next Tuesday (4 May) as part of its campaign to fight the closure of substantial parts of Evesham College and the shutting down and sale of the Malvern Hills campus by the Warwickshire College Group (WCG).  

Three days of strikes announced for prison education staff across England

The University and College Union (@UCU) has today (Thursday) written to @GillianKeegan to raise concerns about the Education and Skills Funding Agency’s (@ESFAgov) decision to set the threshold rate for adult education ‘under-delivery’ at 90%, which could see colleges lose tens of millions in funding, and to call on the government to reverse the decision.
