And we loved this blog from Debbie @CitynIslington for @OralHistorySoc reflecting on how she's been working with @BL_learning to help students hear the voices of those affected by the Partition of India. https://t.co/Doimezl2E5

As a sector we are always keen to give students independent control of their learning. This blog from Simon @WindsorForestCG outlines how staff have been asking more of students to build up their agency and enrich their learning.https://t.co/dT82RIdvTH

Great @guardian article. The threat to AGQs like BTECs deserves more attention, and it's not too late for the government to change its decision and pause the defunding of these courses for at least a year. #ProtectStudentChoice https://t.co/UfqUbhktTa

Excellent article. 1. What will 150k students do without BTECs? 2. How will colleges afford pay rises without the funding schools get? Colleges close attainment gaps & deliver social mobility, plus the skills and professionals needed for economic recovery. https://t.co/2bL6eEZEMu

An excellent @guardian article that shines a light on the government's decision not to pause the defunding of AGQs such as BTECs. It is still not too late for @bphillipsonMP to review this decision and #ProtectStudentChoice https://t.co/diat11q3NF

Completely agree - the decision not to pause the defunding of AGQs is good news for Lord Sainsbury, but bad news for students, schools, colleges, universities, employers, social mobility and the economy. #ProtectStudentChoice https://t.co/Tn5tXchr9e

Most of the time, you'd think FE colleges don't exist - see VAT on some schools & universities under £ pressure for details.This is good to see - thank you @SusannaRustin https://t.co/13PCDoaI2y

"Labour’s commitment to “pause and review” Tory plans to scrap more than 100 popular qualifications, including BTecs, has been translated – now they are in power – into a secretive internal process..." Superb from @SusannaRustin #ProtectStudentChoice https://t.co/diat11q3NF

It is true that @bphillipsonMP "inherited a big mess" but reneging on the pledge to pause the defunding of AGQs has made things immeasurably worse. Who benefits? Certainly not students, and it makes life for colleges and schools a lot more difficult. 6/6

Today’s education questions was the last opportunity for ministers to keep their pre-election promise to pause the defunding of AGQs such as BTECs. They did not take it and instead make some claims that need to be fact checked. #ProtectStudentChoice 1/6 https://t.co/ViiFTIDxPI
