"This Government have created a divide in our sector where academised colleges have access to funding, and the other colleges don’t."
On Thursday, members and General Secretary Daniel Kebede told us why it's so important that sixth form teachers aren't forgotten.

After #Budget2024 still tbc how support for employer NI costs will operate, how £300m revenue funding will be used and what the capital settlement means for SFCs and 16-19 academies. You can read our Budget submission in full here: sfcawebsite.s3.amazonaws.com…

"It gives me hope that there will be a better, longer term investment plan set out in the spring 2025 spending review to ensure that colleges can thrive and make an even bigger impact in coming years." - @AoCDavidH responds to today's budget announcement.

ALT quote: “It was good to hear the Chancellor talk about the vital role further education has in the government's ambitions and aims. It was even better that in a very tight budget she has announced £300m for further education, £40m from the growth and skills levy, and £950m for skills capital funding"

The NI increase for colleges is around £25m to £30m, so £300m is a lot more than needed for that, about 4.5% increase on overall college turnover. So a bigger % increase for colleges than schools

Some haven't liked the term 'decimation' used by @Samfr- as he says it is accurate on 16-18 funding. But overall college income drop since 2010 is 3 times worse (30%) & for adults it is 6 times worse (60%). Not sure of the words for that - unbelievable? Criminal? #LoveOurColleges

To say post-16 education has been decimated is, if anything, an understatement, as this report explains.
Govt education policy has been crackers for as long as I can remember.
It's time to put education at the heart of the economy. If we don't, we'll all suffer...
🚨Our new report by @Samfr reflects on school policy over the last two decades.
It sets out three major challenges facing the sector over the coming years ⬇️

Very proud of this blog from our director of programmes Deb Perry, delving into @BHASVIC's new co-chair model for board governance with help from the co-chairs themselves and @bhasvicteaching. Practical and inspiring.

Big week for the Chancellor, hoping it might be a good week for colleges. After 14 tough years, they need something in the #Budget24 to show that the next decade will be about @hmtreasury investing for people, communities, fair economic growth
💷 'We need the chancellor to show that she views our sector as offering a strong and vital return on investment, not a cost'

I think Brighton sold out first, didn’t it? Should we feel privileged to be The Rest Is Politics purists, with just Alistair and Rory, or should we be sulking about being left out from a visit by The Mooch and Katy K? #TRIPLIVE @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK

Excellent article. 1. What will 150k students do without BTECs? 2. How will colleges afford pay rises without the funding schools get? Colleges close attainment gaps & deliver social mobility, plus the skills and professionals needed for economic recovery. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

“It is clear that the English Baccalaureate has had a devastating effect on creative arts & technology subjects … The EBacc must be scrapped and more done to champion the importance of subjects that have been sidelined”: well said, @pepediiasio @ASCL_UK: shorturl.at/Cr17l
