This Bill should be a wake-up call to all those who care about children’s education.
Government proposals announced today (Thursday) to sell off England's forests and woodlands to private companies or transfer them to charitable trusts could make it much harder for the public to enjoy the countryside, leave charities out of pocket, and will raise little revenue from the public purse, says the TUC.
UCU today accused the government of ducking further scrutiny of its 'punitive' plans for university funding after it added reforms to the student loans system in England to an education bill that is dominated by school reforms.
The TUC is calling for an end to discrimination and prejudice on Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) today (Thursday).
HMD remembers the loss of life in the holocaust of World War II, as well as in more recent genocides in Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda and Darfur, and has been held annually in the UK since 2001.
