Redundancies At Accrington And Rossendale Fe College

EDM number 559 in 1995-96, proposed by Greg Pope on 04/03/1996.

That this House notes with extreme concern the number of lecturers being made redundant at Accrington and Rossendale FEE College and the consequent disruption of students' courses and loss of educational amenity; further notes that this disgraceful state of affairs is being repeated at further educ ation colleges in other parts of the country; believes that the root cause of this scandal is the funding mechanism put in place by the Further Education Funding Council at the behest of the Government following the incorporation of the colleges; and calls on the Secretary of State for Education and Employment to intervene immediately to ensure proper funding of existing further education courses, an end to redundancies amongst academic staff and the restoration of public confidence in the further education sector.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
