This is the most popular campaign

'Education, Education Education,' that's what Tony Blair said, so why is it that sooooo many Further Education Colleges are being underfunded??? FE colleges provide education for those 16 years and over in A Levels, GCSEs and vocational courses such as plumbing, computing etc. and they are the favourite port of call for mature students (that isanyone over the age of 21) who want an education that they want to improve on. Many students also prefer them to schools because you get to call the teachers by their firstnames and not have to wear school uniform:) The sad fact is though the government focuses on Schools and Universities whereas colleges are left 'out of the loop.' Many colleges throughout Britain are having to get rid of staff to cut expenses because they aren't getting enough funding. So what can we do? SCREAM AND SHOUT ABOUT IT!!!
