Gavin Williamson has dealt another HAMMER BLOW to education

GUESS WHO LOSES

A few snippets from his latest plans...

1) Teaching grant to be cut by 50% to courses outside of Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths

F*ck business, media, the Arts

Poor Fatima needn’t bother
2) Removing the London Weighting allowance for London Unis

This means a pay cut for staff that work in these Unis

Because living, traveling and working in London has got cheaper?
3) Govt, NOT UNIVERSITIES, to set min entry grades

This will massively disadvantage students coming from a non-traditional A-Level background

4) Removing support for Foundation year courses

The same disadvantaged students will lose out

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE LEVELLING UP?
These plans have sent shockwaves through the higher education sector

But many are scared to speak up

And the media coverage?

...even though it's all in the public domain?
