We're at 64 universities with redundancies/restructures: qmucu.org/qmul-transformatio…. Let's hope that inbox get's addressed soon...

Thank you to the 14,000+ people who dialled into my chat with the education sector today. I want to reset the relationship between government & the workforce so we can be partners in the push for better. I promise this will be just the start of our engagement, not a one off.

If @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer wants to know what to do about universities: the first and easiest thing: re-introduce the cap on numbers that each university can take. It removes competition, and allows universities to plan because they know what numbers of students they will have.

Every announcement of a Voluntary Severance Scheme is copying from the same playbook referring to the 'sector-wide challenges'. They make it sound like redundancies and restructures are inevitable. We can keep questioning that narrative and develop alternative ones.
