Iโ€™m struggling to understand how teaching post 16 qualifications in a school is worth more than teaching the exact same qualifications and more in a college when we are all public sector. We need to put respect for ALL teachers at the heart of the education and skills system.
Replying to @AoC_info @AoCDavidH
We know you tried hard on this one & thought that the principle of fair treatment for FE teachers had been fought and won last year but what next David - this is so unfair, unexpected, unexplainable, unjustified & unnecessarily impactful on FECs as we return to the public sector

Great intent @Jacqui_Smith1 ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ You do know that in a few weeks' time there will be no level 3 qualifications in many areas such as electrical installation - skills on which the economy depends. The T Levels which replace these quals aren't adequate.

"There are more than a third of vacancies which employers are saying to us could be filled if there were sufficient skilled people in order to fill them." Education minister @Jacqui_Smith1 breaks down to @TomSwarbrick1 the latest initiative from the new Labour government.
