Both staff and students will feel the disastrous impact of these cuts 👇 “Staff will be so stretched that parts of university education that students really value will have to be removed”

Universities ‘risk grinding to a halt’ as job cuts deepen

Institutions where hundreds of roles are at risk will have to radically change the way they operate, staff warn, with big impact on students and the wider community

It is a privilege to work alongside the 29 organisations in the #ProtectStudentChoice campaign - our shared aim is for @educationgovuk to reverse its disastrous plan to scrap BTECs. Today's @FT summarises this case study in evidence-free policymaking:

Low T-levels uptake in England prompts calls for urgent reform of qualification

Flagship skills qualification drew only 1% of 16- to 17-year-old students in 2022
