Our asks: raise the rate of funding for 16-18s - currently lower than for primary school students - by at least £710 per student per year; address financial inequalities for sixth form colleges like VAT; and fund expansion of college buildings to accommodate growing population. https://t.co/R1am5gXTzS

As Anne says, addressing inequality at post-16 means "retaining BTECs and similar qualifications" and enabling students to choose T levels because they're the right choice for them rather than because alternatives have been scrapped. #protectstudentchoice https://t.co/xFk6KdTiId

And we loved this blog from Debbie @CitynIslington for @OralHistorySoc reflecting on how she's been working with @BL_learning to help students hear the voices of those affected by the Partition of India. https://t.co/Doimezl2E5

As a sector we are always keen to give students independent control of their learning. This blog from Simon @WindsorForestCG outlines how staff have been asking more of students to build up their agency and enrich their learning.https://t.co/dT82RIdvTH

Diversity in education pathways is crucial. What will 150k students do without BTECs? #ProtectStudentChoicehttps://t.co/Yq6Z90aizw

Great @guardian article. The threat to AGQs like BTECs deserves more attention, and it's not too late for the government to change its decision and pause the defunding of these courses for at least a year. #ProtectStudentChoice https://t.co/UfqUbhktTa
