- Motion text
Congress condemns the cuts in funding to adult and community education and calls on Congress and the NEC to send a message to the government and the main political parties to express our extreme concern at the irreparable damage that any such cuts will inflict on the well-being, health and cohesion of communities throughout the country.
In times of recession, expenditure on education should be maintained at all costs.
Congress notes the lively and successful campaign a couple of years ago involving staff, students and communities built around the slogan 'Defend ESOL, Defend Education' and urges the NEC to use this model in encouraging similar campaigns alongside other interested parties in the Campaigning Alliance for Lifelong Learning (CALL) to develop resistance to these devastating cuts locally and national.
