College lecturers need professional qualifications
14 August 2013
UCU said today that it will continue to push the government to ensure that newly-appointed further education lecturers have to have a proper teaching qualification.
The union said it will also be making a full submission to the department for business, innovation and skills' consultation on the forthcoming deregulation bill.
UCU head of further education, Barry Lovejoy, said: 'We are disappointed that the government appears to believe it is acceptable for lecturers to teach students without having a recognised qualification. We shall be pressing the case for all lecturers in our colleges to remain fully-qualified professionals.'
