Excellent analysis by my Times Higher Education colleague John Morgan of the 50% enrollment target in UK HE policy, and why it's still being attacked by the current UK PM 24 years on... "Politicians invoking the Blair target as a spectre still haunting society might be ignoring far larger “great mistakes” made by governments since the Thatcher era: about Westminster centralisation driving regional inequality, about the underfunding of further education, about the absence of industrial strategy to shape the kinds of companies and jobs we have, about failures to manage a response to deindustrialisation that worked for the whole of society." https://lnkd.in/ei3bN_gS?

Senior Account Director and Apprenticeship Lead at Aspectus Group | Comms | Tech-for-good | Education and apprenticeships | DE&I
Since last week’s election result, I’ve been thinking about how this could be a historic shake-up for education. The fact there are so many state-educated cabinet members is monumental in itself (previously, 63% of the Cabinet were private school alumni, now 92% were educated in state comprehensive). There’s a real chance to make the system work for everyone. So what could education under Labour look like? 💻Skills and apprenticeships: Labour’s new Skills England will aim to bring businesses, training providers, and unions together to ensure students receiving vocational training are job-ready, and we can bridge skills gaps across industries. I hope this encourages more sectors (like PR and marketing) to see the value in hiring an apprentice. 🎵Creativity in the curriculum: Labour is pushing for a broader curriculum that includes creative subjects and enrichment activities, particularly in poorer areas. I wouldn’t be where I am today without performing arts, music and sports – a holistic approach could level the playing field and prepare students for more diverse futures. 👨🏫More teachers: Labour promises 6,500 new expert teachers in key shortage subjects (no mean feat). They plan to review bursaries and retention payments to attract and keep talented educators. 🧠Mental health support: Labour says it will place a mental health specialist in every school, addressing the growing mental health crisis among students and providing early support. 💰Funding boost for state schools: One of Labour’s most high-profile pledges has been to end VAT exemption and business rates relief for private schools. The aim is to redirect funds into state schools, addressing chronic underfunding but it's unlikely to be straight-forward. Labour‘s victory certainly signals a seismic change. I'll be watching to see how the new government's plans pan out in supporting the education sector.

Allow me a moment to rant, if I may. I recently saw this image posted to a student affairs group and it made my blood boil. While variations of this quote are used throughout many different professions, I will focus on Student Affairs as I spent a considerable amount of my early professional career in that field. Let me begin by saying….Get out of here with this gaslighting BS. Far too many institutions prey on the drive, determination, and sense of purpose of young and seasoned professionals alike to exploit them for their time and talents while gaslighting them into thinking that expecting a livable wage is wrong. Never mind the fact that this is usually occurring while institutions are forking out massive bonuses and paychecks to university presidents, top administrators and coaches. So let's break this down real quick. A job is a contract between 2 parties where one party, the employer, agrees to financially compensate another party, the employee, for their time and skills. Period. End of sentence, paragraph, chapter and story. Any employer trying to argue that employees should value non-monetary rewards such as “outcome” above income is simply justifying underpaying employees to bolster their bottom line. Don’t agree? When was the last time you heard of a university withholding bonuses or adjusting pay for top level administrators and redirecting those savings to employees, charities or causes because the “outcome” of that decision would be far more valuable than the income they would receive. Go on, I’ll wait…. So, to young and old professionals alike. Please remember that your time and skills are valuable. You are not wrong for demanding a livable wage and anyone trying to make you feel guilty about that can go kick rocks in flip flops.

Earlier this week, Shazia Ejaz, REC Director of Campaigns and Research, commented on Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves' impactful speech. Here's a peek into the key points: 📈 The Shadow Chancellor’s pledge to partner with businesses must include the recruitment sector to tackle labour and skills shortages, a £39 billion annual threat to the UK economy. 🔧 Aligning the skills system with business needs is crucial. We're calling on Labour to act swiftly on its commitment to reform the Apprenticeship Levy within the first 100 days in government. 📜 Our assessment outlines necessary labour law updates to embrace flexible working and better support employers. 💼 Clarity on business taxes through a roadmap will empower employers to plan effectively, enabling hiring and investment in workforce skills. 🌟 For sustainable economic growth and better public services, a meaningful industrial strategy focused on people is essential. Investments in skills, transport, childcare, and devolution are key. Read the full press release to understand how these changes can drive the UK towards a flourishing labour market and robust economic growth. 🔗 Read the full press release: https://bit.ly/3Kkfxau #Economy #LabourMarket #Skills #Business #Recruitment #IndustrialStrategy #EconomicGrowth #PressRelease #REC

Last week in the July 2024 Session of Parliament, Deputy Premier and Minister for Investment, Innovation and Social Development, Hon. André Ebanks, announced the proposed establishment of a summer stipend programme for bus wardens and bus drivers employed by private entities contracted to provide school bus transportation services to the Cayman Islands Government (CIG) education system. In his statement, the Deputy Premier highlighted the well-established service of providing bus transportation for primary and high school students, facilitated through a mix of government assets and outsourced services. Private bus companies, engaged for ten months each academic year, have been paid only for the days of service, excluding weekends, public holidays, and vacation breaks. This results in bus wardens and drivers being compensated for approximately 8.75 months annually. In contrast, civil servants in similar roles receive a fixed salary throughout the entire year. In view of this longstanding deficiency along with cost-of-living concerns, the Ministry is working on finalising a policy to deliver a summer stipend which will aim to bridge the payment gap during the summer between the pay structures of civil servants and outsourced bus company employees who provide the same essential transportation services for the children of the Cayman Islands. "Through this summer stipend, we seek to address the deficiency in pay structures and ensure fairness for individuals providing transportation services to our children so they can access education" the Deputy Premier stated. The Ministry is also developing a supporting policy to set parameters for the proposed summer stipend and potentially continue the programme in future years, budget permitting.

Elevating Professionals through Strategic Training, Engaging Competitions, and Innovative Projects for Unmatched Career Development
Where are we heading as a nation? Are we facing the tyranny of economic pressures on the salaried class, dealing with rising inflation, and grappling with tax burdens that provide no real benefits such as quality healthcare or education? Is our governance merely pleasing the IMF, or is there a plan to sustain the economy? This situation reminds me of a famous incident where, instead of putting the lion in a cage, the public was caged to stay safe from the lion. Here, the lion represents the IMF, the decision-makers are our governance, and the caged public is primarily the salaried class. #FBR #IMF #Loan #Salariedclass #braindrain #healthministry #educationreforms #healthreforms #corruption #moneylaundering

Dr. Bari shared a telling example, in the below tagged article, of a demotivated employee who approached his boss to request a raise. As soon as the employee entered the room, the boss remarked, "It's good you're here; we need to lay off some people." Ten minutes later, the employee left the office feeling grateful he wasn't one of those being fired. Employees nowadays are unsure whether to be pleased about anticipated salary increments or worried about the heavy tax burden that comes with them, likely reducing their take-home pay. It seems that only essential items, which the government knows they can reliably tax, such as salaries, books, medicines, stationery, and point-of-sale transactions, are targeted, while the shadow economy remains largely unchecked. There are also no significant measures in place to address brain drain, public safety, or curb the undocumented economy. For Nations to reform they invest in Education, Health and Safety. Question is where are we heading towards? Would there be a better future? https://lnkd.in/d7XKXVnY

The Government's 'second quarter action plan' announced this week includes the launch of an Attendance Action Plan and the introduction of the first phase of initiatives to lift school attendance. YEA believes that an ENGAGEMENT Action Plan is required if we're to see a lift in school attendance. Young people will attend school when they see value in what they are learning. Effective career guidance and incorporating a vocational framework has been proven to elevate student engagement and attendance at school. We have some great examples here in Aotearoa, including Palmerston North Boys' High School model of individualised learning programmes linked to career pathways, and Huntly College's 'I am a ...' innovative curriculum design that places the 'basics' of literacy and numeracy within a meaningful framework of vocational experience. Let's learn from what works and create relevant learning for our rangathai. No truancy officers, please.

Heading to the polls tomorrow? The moment of decision is upon us, and with the future of our country's leadership at stake, I understand the struggle of the undecided voter. 😟 🗳️ Let's demystify the party offerings on employment to aid your choice. Who'll earn your tick on the ballot? 🤔 🔵 Conservatives: They're waving the flag of tax relief, proposing a cut in NI contributions and vowing not to hike income tax or VAT. They're also eyeing up a slew of new apprenticeships, aiming to bolster healthcare staff, and contemplating an education revamp with the new Advanced British Standard qualification. 🌱 Greens: Eyeing the affluent for increased taxes, the Greens propose striking down "anti- union" laws, advocating a £15/hr living wage, and introducing a four-day workweek to balance work and life more favorably. 🔴 Labour: Leading the polls, they've unwrapped a 'New Deal for Working People', focusing on job stability, fair wages, and revamping the immigration system with a skills-based approach. 🔶 Lib Dems: They are campaigning for a lifelong skills grant and redefining the skills and training levy. Their blueprint includes shaking up dependent contractor conditions and pushing for a merit-based immigration system. 🏴 Plaid Cymru: They're channeling their focus on higher national insurance for the well-off, a living wage for apprenticeships, and the devolution of employment law to Wales. 🔄 Reform UK: They're on the trail for higher income tax thresholds and a dramatic reshaping of employment law, with a clear stance on an employer immigration tax and boosting police and army forces. 🏴 SNP: Dedicating resources to the NHS and looking for greater autonomy over Scotland's taxation. They're also committed to eliminating zero-hour contracts and paving a way back into the EU, aiming to benefit from freedom of movement. It's not just a vote; it's an opportunity to shape our nation's employment landscape for the foreseeable future. So, have your say and vote wisely! ✨ #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #VoteResponsibly #stillundecided
