The #loveFE campaign petition, calling on government to halt the cuts and invest in lifelong learning, was handed over to Downing Street by campaign partners this morning.
A number of senior and respected figures from the education and trade union worlds have signed a letter which condemns the cut to the adult education budget as ‘an act of vandalism’. The letter also says that the cuts are ‘perverse’ in an age of austerity when ‘economic growth requires a skilled population with funded opportunities for learning’.
