As many have already stated, including the excellent article in Wonkhe by Mary Curnock Cook CBE a few weeks back, we urgently need The Labour Party Government to announce a ‘pause and review’ of the defunding of Level 3 (inc #BTEC) qualifications. It’s good to note that some of the MPs who were original signaturies to the #protectstudentchoice ‘don’t scrap BTECs’ open letter back in Oct 2021, are now Cabinet Ministers, including Angela Rayner, Jonathan Reynolds, Lucy Powell and Darren Jones. Here are some, very much still apt, snippets from that letter: ‘The plan for T levels and A levels to become the “qualifications of choice” for most young people will leave many students without a viable pathway after their GCSEs, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds; the Department for Education’s impact assessment concluded that these students had the most to lose from defunding BTECs’ ‘We welcome the introduction of T levels and believe they have a valuable role to play in improving the quality of technical education. But is is not necessary to remove applied general qualifications to make T levels a success. It is perfectly possible for both to coexist with A Levels’ Now is the time to end the imminent cliff-edge educational vandalism of forcing a wholly unnecessary and limiting binary choice on our children’s futures.

Did you know??? 1 in 4 students at UNG is identified as the first in their families to attend college and earn a degree. Did you know??? Our first-generation students range in age from 18 to 65. Our goal is simple: In the future, every student at UNG who dreams of being the first in their family to attend college and earn a degree can have the financial support they need through this scholarship to turn dreams into reality. Because of the generous support of so many, we have in 3 years expanded the First Generation Student Scholarship awards from 5 to 16 and now 20 this year. But there is still much work to be done, and the need is great. To learn more about how UNG is supporting First Generation College students, visit us at https://lnkd.in/gfHMMf-e.

From Bars to Building Futures: Herbert’s Journey of Redemption. 🧡 In the heart of our reentry program, there’s a beacon of hope named Herbert B. Six months ago, he walked through our doors, his steps echoing the weight of past mistakes. But with each passing day, Herbert’s journey has unfolded into a beautiful story of redemption and resilience. With unwavering determination, Herbert embraced the opportunities offered by The Journey Project. He enrolled in a local trades training program, eager to learn and grow. Despite the challenges he faced, Herbert never wavered in his commitment to building a better future for himself. As Herbert immersed himself in his training, his dedication shone through. Today, he stands on the brink of a new chapter, poised to graduate with a certification that will open doors to countless opportunities. But Herbert’s success isn’t just measured by his academic achievements – it’s also seen in the way he has woven himself into the fabric of our community. Herbert isn’t just a participant; he’s a pillar of support, lending a helping hand wherever it’s needed. Whether it’s assisting with tasks around the center or offering words of encouragement to fellow participants, Herbert’s presence is felt in every corner of our program. As we reflect on Herbert’s journey, we’re reminded of the transformative power of second chances. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the boundless potential that lies within each of us. We’re proud to have walked alongside Herbert on his path to redemption, and we can’t wait to see where his journey takes him next. #saturdaysuccessstory #herbertsstory #ourvoicesmatter #livedexperiencematters #reentrymatters #secondchances #thejourneyprojecttukwila

Secrets to Success Introduction: 1st Post of 18 IDH-3930, Fall 2024, FGCU Good intentions and idyllic wishes do not elevate the trajectory of people’s lives! You have one life to live—and are incredibly lucky to reside in the land of freedom and opportunity. How will you use these gifts? How can they help you attain health, prosperity, happiness, and a full life? How will you ensure freedom and opportunity are available to future generations? In 1978, at age 19, I participated in an economic development field study in Latin America, and a year later, in a similar program in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union. Experiencing varying qualities of life at an early age ignited a fire within me to identify the most advantageous cultures and practices. I studied economic development at Purdue, public policy at Cornell, and business at Harvard. I read over 2,000 books about history, religion, science, culture, government, economics, and leadership, and spent time in all 50 states, over 50 countries, and over 200 major cities.   For over four decades I sifted through hundreds of perspectives and practices, weighing their effects on the individual, larger group, and environment in the short term and generationally, as I raised my family, operated several businesses, and led numerous nonprofit organizations. After our youngest child graduated from college, I began assembling a coherent, synergistic mix of advantageous perspectives and practices from the hundreds that exist. The Secrets to Success books and courses are the culmination of this effort. Most people know our genes, parents, and choices affect our life, but few recognize that our culture, a type of human software and reservoir of intergenerational practices, affects it. People only flourish as a collection of perspectives and practices—like the perspectives of causality, competition, meritocracy, comparative advantage, and fitness, and the practices of honesty, scholarship, work, free enterprise, and the rule of law—are prevalent in a population. A particularly potent collection of American practices enabled our ancestors, communities, and country to flourish like none other through the 1960s. Then our success went to our heads, we took for granted what worked, and gradually started to exchange Elevating Practices for losing ones. #FGCUhonors #FGCUEntrepreneurs #FGCUClassof2028 #FGCUClassof2027 #FGCUClassof2026 #FGCUClassof2025
