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. The petition has been signed by over 42,500 people from across further and higher education and beyond since it was launched in February.
The campaign partner organisations will meet on Tuesday to discuss next steps.
