A senior Tory MP has urged the Government to publish a “cross-departmental strategy” on the staffing crisis in colleges.
The chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Further Education and Lifelong Learning Peter Aldous made the call during PMQs on Wednesday 29 June urging ministers to address staff pay in colleges as not to “undermine the levelling-up agenda”.
Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab, who was standing in at the despatch box for the Prime Minister who is at a NATO summit in Spain, said Mr Aldous was “absolutely right” adding that the government wants to “support the sector in recruiting and retaining excellent staff”.
