The best way to avoid the disruption of last year is to reduce infections and prevent outbreaks That's why we are calling for all eligible students to be offered the opportunity to be fully vaccinated before September ucu.org.uk/article/11684/Ful…

'Fully vaccinate students or face even worse disruption to education', UCU tells governments

UCU has today issued a stark warning to governments across the UK that the chaos experienced by students in university and colleges last year is set to be repeated, unless vaccines are made available...

ok if I tweet this again @CollegesScot ? I believe 79.8% of those on strike have tweeted this. Which is up 12.4% from the previous best tweet (of course I could be wrong on figures🤔especially as I’ve just made them up 😉) #CollegesNeedLecturers Solidarity @eisforthvalley ✊

Stating the obvious, but hey, if we have to take industrial action to convince managers that #CollegesNeedLecturers then we will . 🤷🏻‍♀️📢✊

Welcome back to the start of term .@uniofleicester & @leicesterucu. Our leadership team has another perfect moment for you, today emailing hundreds of staff to tell them they, or others in their teams, are at risk of redundancy. The timing is brutal, the process shady 1/

Working with @ManchesterSU, we have agreed to give all students in University halls of residences a reduction for semester 1 totalling 30%. This will be provided irrespective of whether students stay in halls over the holiday period or not.

This is so unbelievably cruel. Why should where you live and the school you go to determine your grade ? The casual snobbery and elitism towards pupils and there teachers makes me so angry. Why is the government so relaxed about damaging their futures? Fix it @GavinWilliamson

Do we really think private schools have improved their teaching/results from last year to this to such an extent that they should see twice the increase in A/A* grades than in state comprehensives? theguardian.com/education/20…
