Watson says “It’s a wufferly day to go and vote for Stewart Golton @LibDems in #Wakefield & #Rothwell constituency” #dogsatpollingstations
Typically insightful interviews, but this one was disappointing. @RestIsPolitics team seemed more interested in non-existent dad issues and feelings towards Corbyn than discussing policy beyond VAT & early years. No mention of FE, HE, NEETs, skills, RAAC, ed devaluation etc.
🗣️On taxing private schools: "Parents should have a choice...but the taxpayer shouldn't be subsidising that"
Full video interview with Bridget Phillipson drops tomorrow at 18:00 on our dedicated Leading YouTube channel.

🗨️'Reducing the fees will likely lead to universities offering fewer of these courses – a change that will disproportionately affect students from underrepresented backgrounds' - writes Nathanial Pickering about foundation years 👇

Interested in the value of the foundation years and their role in supporting widening access? Then have a look at my latest article in the @ConversationUK. #highereducation #policy

It was really great delivering the first #ChangeBusters workshop this week to the #HE sector. We look forward to hearing how people use the game to develop #theoryofchange and #evaluation knowledge and understanding.
