NewVIc has had to cut language and arts courses and sorely needed mental health support. The Government must #RaiseTheRate and enable our colleges to teach and support our young people in the way they deserve and the future of this country needs. https://t.co/IzBaSgae8C

There is a serious lack of funding for sixth-form education across our country. Investing in young people is investing in the future of our country. It's about time the government did something about it. https://t.co/XhPquriIAY

Watch our APPG co-chair @JasonMcCartney make a passionate case for #RaiseTheRate at yesterday's debate. His excellent local colleges, @huddnewcoll and @GreenheadCol, deserve nothing less than £4,760 per pupil. https://t.co/5Wm4OXkatm

The government must end the decade-long underfunding of 6th forms and colleges. As a Governor of @LutonSixthForm, I know how 6th forms & colleges create a bridge between lower & higher education which enables effective social mobility. To fix this bridge, we must #RaisetheRate. https://t.co/ptq34jCMp2

I attended #RaiseTheRate debate, calling on Govt to raise national funding rate for 16-18 year olds (the ‘rate’) to at least £4,760 per student, per year in 2020 spending review. This is imperative as funding has been cut twice since 2010 and frozen since 2013. 📚 https://t.co/VqVAUTXS5h

Donelan says the #RaisetheRate campaign has done an "excellent job" in drawing to attention the financial pressures some colleges are facing, and says it is something "we will reflect upon for the spending review"

Thanks so much again to our APPG vice-chair @lloyd_rm, who secured today's fantastic debate on post-16 funding. He explained several of the key issues for sixth forms in his opening speech, including #RaisetheRate and #ProtectAGQs: https://t.co/KdmSaEAedb

@lloyd_rm @SFCA_info All colleges suffer when the government takes decisions to exclude them from decisions like the teacher pay rise awarded to schools, says @lloyd_rm: 'Only equalisation of how the structures are seen across the board will solve this problem'

@lloyd_rm @SFCA_info There is little point investing in pre-16 education and higher education if you overlook general colleges and sixth form colleges in the middle, says @lloyd_rm

More than almost any other edu sector, has seen the most real-term cuts over the last decade. We need to desperately #raisetherate to ensure sixth formers don't continue to lose out. Hopefully many MPs will show their support in today's Wminster Hall debate
