Another example of #ToriesTalkTheTalkDontWalkTheWalk. To "finance" adult education, the Tories propose to extend the extortionate & unfair students loans! theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
Compare with Macron's reform which ensured the costs of adult training are paid for by:
- employers paying into a central fund
- the State
- adults who if in work (self employed or employed) are given 500€ (or 800€ if not in work) PER YEAR for training& manage this themselves
- employers paying into a central fund
- the State
- adults who if in work (self employed or employed) are given 500€ (or 800€ if not in work) PER YEAR for training& manage this themselves
through an individual account, their Compte Personnel de Formation. Employers have to offer training too in house (or subcontract) including in badly paid jobs e.g. warehouse so employees can learn e.g. digital skills AND employers must pay them their salaries during training
Finally France put in place really good quality control on training bodies. The law was constantly reassessed & tweaked when needed.
He also put a lot of money into apprentiship, reformed it, extended the areas covered & opened it to up to 29 years old. As a result there was a huge increase in apprentiship.
The Tories talk the talk but put no money behind it. As always. As with the army reform (cuts), the sciences budget (cuts), the NHS (real term pay cuts), Green policies (scrapping the home insulation scheme). All spin & no substance.
