FURTHER EDUCATION AND TRAINING BILL [LORDS]: Second Reading.
|
[Until 10.00 p.m.]
|
|
|
|
| |
That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Further Education and Training Bill [Lords] because it will introduce yet another expensive reorganisation of the learning and skills councils, further entrenching
the management of vocational training through a regional structure; it will grant the Learning and Skills Council draconian
new powers to dismiss college governors, principals and senior managers; and despite the recommendations of the Leitch Review
of Skills it fails to address the UK’s relatively poor performance in intermediate level vocational skills, the growing problem
of young people not in education, employment or training, the declining numbers of learners in apprenticeships at all levels,
and profound doubts about the timetable for the introduction of the new 14-19 specialised Diplomas.
|
|
|
The Scottish Parliament has passed a Legislative Consent Resolution in respect of this Bill. Copies of the Resolution are
available in the Vote Office.
|
|
Debate may continue until 10.00 p.m.
