Best wishes to students getting their GCSE results today across Bedfordshire.

Very lucky to be a governor at such a fantastic college 👇

450+ schools & colleges in England say the uncertainty over the future of vocational courses such as BTecs is a "mess”. They don't yet know which courses they can offer students in 2025. 🗣️ "It's like I've got a shop and I've got nothing on the shelves." bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Excellent contributions from the superb Altaf Hussain and Darren Hankey that illustrate why a pause to defunding BTECs is so important. #ProtectStudentChoice Bridget Phillipson Jacqui Smith

Fab to be joined by BBC East, speaking to newly enrolled students about the future of Vocational Qualifications Luton Sixth Form College. We are keen AND proud advocates of Vocational Quals, as we strongly believe in the paths they open for our young people! #ProtectStudentChoice

Important coverage BBC East on the growing anxiety of the de-funding of BTEC quals from the curriculum. LSFC, alongside 00’s of other SFCs, Universities and other educational establishments urge the government to re-think pulling the funding of these crucial qualifications!

Well said by Altaf Hussain, as well as his students, here: “When people are anxious, they make the wrong decision.” That applies just as much to governments as it does to confused and worried year 11s. #protectstudentchoice
