I wouldn't say this is the biggest #Apprenticeship event in the north of England, but I think it'll be in the top one.

Today's the day we say farewell to the amazing Shaun Hope. It's safe to say, no one has made Hartlepool College, our splendid torch, burn so brightly over the last decade and a half - thank you, Shaun 🙏 Bishop Auckland College you are so lucky to have him.

Strange day saying goodbye to Shaun Hope as he leaves for pastures new. I know he will be a huge success, day 1s together from start, good luck pal and enjoy the wine 👏👏👏

Great intent Jacqui Smith 👏👏👏 You do know that in a few weeks' time there will be no level 3 qualifications in many areas such as electrical installation - skills on which the economy depends. The T Levels which replace these quals aren't adequate.

🚨 NEW: I've just announced a pause and review of the defunding of BTECs By doing so, we will: ✅ Support BTEC students ✅ Commit to roll out T-Levels ✅ Conclude the review by the end of the year

Fantastic news for the sector and most importantly the 1000s of young people who were set to be disadvantaged as a result of this. Well done Bridget Phillipson and well done Darren Hankey for being a consistent campaigner for this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’m struggling to understand how teaching post 16 qualifications in a school is worth more than teaching the exact same qualifications and more in a college when we are all public sector. We need to put respect for ALL teachers at the heart of the education and skills system.
