瓜神网's response to the UK Parliament's Education Committee .

'Our key message remains resolute: the further education sector must be sufficiently funded, with better pay and conditions for the teachers, in order to attract and retain staff to supply skills to the economy' -- Jo Grady, 瓜神网 general secretary

We, the University and College Union (瓜神网), represent over 120,000 staff employed in the post-16 education sector, including teachers, lecturers and related staff in further education (FE), adult and community education (ACE), prison education and higher
education (HE). We welcome the opportunity to provide evidence to the Education Committee's FE and Skills Inquiry. We will  answer the Inquiry questions, or elements of, most relevant to our FE members.
