can transform people’s lives. There is a need to provide proper investment in our education system to ensure that it is accessible to all and celebrates diversity and nurtures talent.
People from more disadvantaged areas or who require support to access employment rely on the opportunities available at our colleges. It is our college lecturers who support many students who wish to gain specific qualifications after leaving school or need to train in a skill to secure employment.
We need to show our support for college lecturers and endorse their importance in delivering vocational courses which are essential, along with academic courses, and supported flexible learning.
