Petition: Continue funding Technocamps to provide the support that schools and teachers across Wales rely on.
Welsh Government has stopped funding Welsh universities (Technocamps) to support Welsh teachers, and instead is giving £1.4M to York University to provide on-line resources for this. This is outrageous: both in the loss of critical local in-person support for Welsh teachers, and in the disrespect shown towards Wales and Welsh universities that are eager to support their local schools but are having their funding for this taken away and given -in far greater amounts- to an English university.

So sad to hear this news. John was such a kind and generous person, and a great lecturer. Incredibly supportive from my first tutorial as an undergrad and beyond. www.abdn.ac.uk/staffnet/new...

It is a relief that University management has backed away from the brutal plans to cut up to 700 jobs. This backtracking is in no doubt down to the relentless pressure from UCU, from all the campus unions and the support from the city of Dundee, local communities and across the political spectrum.

I have begun to compile a starter pack of human geographers, so if you are new to BlueSky it’s worth checking out. Also please let me know who I should add, I’m sure I’m missing lots of people go.bsky.app/SAK9wfm
