United For Education Coalition
EDM number 217 in 2010-12, proposed by Jon Trickett on 14/06/2010.
That this House welcomes the United for Education coalition which includes the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, the GMB, the Educational Institute of Scotland, the NUS, the University and College Union, UNISON and Unite the Union; believes that education is an engine of economic recovery and social mobility which also changes the lives and builds the hope of individuals, families and communities; notes that over £1.2 billion of cuts have been announced to higher education with more than £200 million also cut from further education and adult learning budgets; expresses deep concern that thousands of jobs have already been lost with thousands more at risk; fears that provision of education will be restricted with up to 70 per cent. of further education colleges cutting courses this year and up to 200,000 applicants missing out on a university place; rejects the idea of lifting the cap on student top-up fees; further notes that investment in education will ensure a skilled workforce to aid economic recovery; and calls on the Government to protect educational provision, jobs and access through sustainable funding for the post-16 sector.
