- On @Channel4News this evening, @AoCDavidH made clear that young people in colleges deserve the same funding for catch up that their peers in schools. 700,000 of the million 16 to 18 year olds study in college... any scheme that ignores them is doomed to fail.

- BREAKING: We have just received the following from @educationgovuk: ‘Schools and colleges can continue with the vocational and technical exams that are due to take place in January, where they judge it right to do so.' We are preparing our response at AoC now. #btecexams
