@SFCA_Info - June 5

A good day for 16 to 19 education. It is right that students in colleges as well as schools will benefit from this very welcome injection of @educationgovuk funding. #RaisetheRate. View our full response here: https://t.co/bmjvIBlvRw

Breaking: The national funding rate for 16 to 19 year old students will be bumped up to £5,105 in the next academic year following the government’s latest cash injection. Rates for T Levels, disadvantaged and English and maths funding are also rising https://t.co/xMeBIgywMQ

We warmly welcome the @educationgovuk plan to extend eligibility for free meals to all young people in households that receive Universal Credit. This is positive step towards reducing student poverty.https://t.co/Q0IWurj5Mm

This is a very special blog from Holly Bembridge, principal @kedst, and John Watters. Read slowly over the long weekend/half term - there's so much to learn from Holly's honest account of her leadership experience building an empowered college team!https://t.co/gdFZwzfycC

Deeply sensible piece for @FEWeek from Craig Hodgson, principal at SFCA member @NSCGStafford @NSCGNewcastle - we need proportionate exams for maths resits that don't bring colleges to a halt any longer than necessary!https://t.co/yRndnXlBQp

This is good news and reflects the principle established following our recent legal action that colleges should not be excluded from funding to support pay awards. While the details still need to be confirmed, today's announcement is a very positive development. https://t.co/F6Wvm9TqyH

⚠️ Ministers have been urged to ignore mayors’ demands for devolution of 16 to 19 budgets as relinquishing Whitehall control would lead to 'less funding getting to the front line' https://t.co/ICe4xguaXg

Despite the demographic boom, there is no capital expansion funding for 16-19. Establishing post-16 capacity fund 2.0 should be an early priority following the spending review to ensure students get a fair deal and support the @10DowningStreet plan to 'get Britain building'. https://t.co/kzcAXS6ipK

T levels have a valuable role to play, but as @NAOorguk reports today, student numbers are set to remain low. It is therefore vital to retain medium and large AGQs such as BTECs to avoid students falling through a qualifications gap. #ProtectStudentChoicehttps://t.co/xpKaxemjfl

"T levels represent a vital opportunity...but they are not right for everyone". Following today's@NAOorguk report on T levels, we hope that@educationgovuk will allow medium and large AGQs to co-exist with T levels. See our full response below:https://t.co/8GfjXoLMjV
