- Motion text
Sector Conference notes that there have been a number of recent instances of FE Colleges volunteering to sponsor new Academies. In the past, UCU has been very sceptical about the ability of Academies to deliver quality education and has opposed their formation.
However, until now UCU has been able to view the situation from the standpoint that our members have not been directly affected. This is no longer the case.
Therefore, Sector Conference resolves that UCU oppose on principle any FE College setting out to sponsor an Academy and :
1) Work within the college concerned to raise awareness of the political issues at stake and encourage our members to take an oppositional stance.
2) Work with other trade unions and the Anti Academies Alliance where possible to stop the formation of an Academy.
