Shocking statistics released in a UNISON survey today (21 April) show that 70 per cent of further education colleges are planning for job cuts.
In some colleges hundreds of jobs are under threat, with those targeted including lecturers, cleaners and nursery staff.
The findings also reveal that 76 per cent of the colleges surveyed will be cutting courses and 23 per cent of colleges that have nurseries say these facilities are under threat.
