What it asks
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to reconsider its proposed cuts to the Further Education Sector of £74million over the next four academic sessions 2011/12, 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15.
What the petitioner did first
Unison Further Education reps put forward a local petition on behalf of their members and raise awareness to the Angus Community how the proposed cut aforementioned would affect the Community. We involved local press with an advertisement campaign also local councillors and MSP’s. We gathered approximately 2000 signatures locally.
MSP’s & Councillors contacted were Jenny Marra MSP, North East Scotland, Alison McInnes MSP, Cllr May and Cllr Murphy at Angus Council. The responses received were supportive which resulted in press coverage and visits to Angus College to meet with students and staff to discuss in more detail what these cuts would mean to the College and Community as whole.
Jenny Marra and Allison McInnes have raised the issues with Mike Russell the Education Minister at Holyrood.
