Campaigning Alliance for Lifelong Learning (CALL)
Latest CALL bulletin out now : fighting cuts in Lifelong Learning
The latest bulletin from the Campaigning Alliance for Lifelong Learning (CALL) is now available online here http://www.callcampaign.org.uk/?cat=16. CALL was founded by a coalition of organisations including UCU, to campaign for lifelong learning opportunities for all, and to fight the cuts in Adult Learning that have seen two million learners’ places lost since 2005.
The bulletin contains all the latest information on how you can support CALL and how UCU members are fighting cuts at institutions like Tower Hamlets college where half of all ESOL, literacy and numeracy courses offered are under threat. You can also find out if your member of parliament is one of the 185 MPs that have signed the early day motion on lifelong learning and what to do if they haven’t!
