Wales lecturers support St Athan campaign

October 18, 2007

Last weekend Cardiff PR supporters took our resolution on St Athan (see below) to Wales FESC (Further Education Sector Committee) and won resounding support for it. Wales FESC, part of the new union for lecturers UCU, will now back the resolution at the upcoming Stop The War conference.

The proposed super-academy represents, among other things, an insidious development in the privatisation of education and training. Among the arms merchants and ex-MOD insiders of the Metrix consortium which will run the academy is that great British institution the Open University.
