V-level rollout requires huge investment, says UCU

'College staff and students have endured almost constant, top down, change to the curriculum over the past 15 years. Now we have some coherent policy, the sector needs a period of stability. The V-level rollout is incredibly quick, and substantive investment is now needed to ensure the Government delivers on its aims.

'In a fragmented sector, ministers must work with staff unions to provide a coherent England wide framework that leaves no student behind. This must include national bargaining and better rates of pay so staff are able to adequately teach and train students, and support national renewal.'
