.@CommonsPAC right to point out cuts to 16-19 student support, 78% of colleges and school sixth forms have cut in this area that's why we still need to #RaisetheRate: https://t.co/h2j85qYZfl

The £83 million mentioned in today's @CommonsPAC is to #CreatetheCapital - capital funding to accommodate additional 16-19 year olds. This is welcome new capital expansion funding, not revenue funding (that has been held at the same level)https://t.co/oKhhGDOTCs

Delighted that @RishiSunak @hmtreasury has earmarked £83 million to #CreatetheCapital - this will help 16 to 19 institutions to deal with demographic growth. Plans to #RaisetheRate in real terms something we can build on next year @hmtreasury https://t.co/6Ret13iXN9

The Principal has been speaking via @SFCA_info about treating students fairly when it comes to exams in 2021. Mike’s campaigning for regional adjustments, taking into account different levels of disruption in different areas, rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach.

Great to hear fulsome and entirely deserved praise from @imranahmadkhan for @CAPACOLLEGE, which makes creative and performing arts available to all. We hope @GavinWilliamson does look into providing an adequate level of funding as promised. #RaisetheRate could be a good start. https://t.co/mMERiAAfVa

Eh, are you a 6th Form colleague? I'd love you to join in a @SFCA_info get together on Zoom, hosted by me (and probably Walter the Dog). 8-9pm on Tuesday 24th Nov - a week today. There'll be a few speakers, a lot of chatting, and we'll see where it goes from there.
