- Motion text
FE conference notes the budget allocated some additional FE funding but has grave concerns that:
colleges which have invested in new builds may not receive this extra funding
additional resources to guarantee either a job or training to those under 25 and unemployed for 12 months will be linked to sustainable employment which colleges cannot deliver
'efficiency' savings being demanded by government will mean £400 million cuts by DIUS
while government bails out bankers, it aims to make workers pay through job losses and pay cuts. Labour remains wedded to neo-liberalism and marketisation in FE. Jobs, conditions and pensions would be severely hit.
Conference resolves to:
step up campaigning for more F/AE funding and against marketisation
organise regional forums to map out strategies to secure our aims
resist FE cuts and job losses through action up to and including national strike action.
