Staff and students at Tower Hamlets College are taking action to defend education and jobs. Despite planning this from January of this Year Senior Management released a document called ‘Securing the Future’ which heralds cuts of nearly 2 million pounds only last Friday 5th June. It announced a 30 day countdown to:
• Sack over 60 teaching and support staff
• Change staff contracts
• Increase workload
• Decimate the college’s ESOL provision
Staff and students have responded quickly to this cynical deadline imposed at a time when staff and students are at their most vulnerable.
• Hundreds of staff and students walked out and held a demonstration yesterday 8th June.
• Heads of Programme are refusing to cooperate with senior management, have passed a vote of no confidence in the Principal and Head of Finance and are conveying this message to the Board of Governors
• A demonstration is planned for 4pm today outside the college in Poplar High Street
