To help the government train people into work, it should involve the education department involved by overhauling and refunding further educational colleges to support more adults with full time courses that have been reduced to just 16-18 under the previous government. Mainstream colleges should offer more support for people with SEN as well, it's so unfair how people over 18 can't have the option to do a basic level 1 course such as sports or childcare, I think this needs to change to help fix our colleges to make adults trained for work.

Governments have a duty to safeguard education, not just as a policy priority but as a moral imperative. Creating environments where children can attend school without fear of harm or judgment. "Education is the thread that binds humanity, a right that must run unbroken through every nation. Every child, regardless of circumstance, must have access to an education free from fear, disruption, or denial. In classrooms or alternative settings, learning should be a sanctuary where children are allowed to flourish, supported by governments and communities to reach their full potential."
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 29 November 2024
We urge UK Parliament to regulate student intakes per university. Distribution should be based on institutional capacity, sustainability, and labour market needs. This is vital to safeguard the quality of education, maintain financial sustainability, and promote equitable access across universities. Uneven changes in student intakes among universities jeopardises education quality, institutional stability, and graduate outcomes. Over-enrolment strains resources, while under-enrolment risks closures. Recently some institutions have expanded considerably, at the cost of others contracting and falling into financial difficulty. A regulated, balanced, and consistent distribution ensures institutions maintain quality, align programmes with labour market needs, and support diverse, sustainable education nationwide. This reform safeguards students and the sector.

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 25 November 2024
We think the Education system has become too focused on statistics, affecting many children’s experiences in a detrimental mental, emotional and physical way and should be reviewed. We think the review should also consider how neurodivergent and children with SEN can achieve their potential. We think the Government and Parliament must protect children’s mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. We think the current system creates a culture of distrust and disrespect between teachers and students which we think extends to the wider families and communities. Children deserve to be treated with respect and dignity in all educational settings by teaching and non-teaching staff. They should not be fearful within the school system. We think individuality must be celebrated and encouraged. We believe that this review should seek to address attitudes towards children with SEN.

Educate young people on baseline understanding of the political system within their years in compulsory education. This means FPTP, the impact of recent political decisions, how our politicians are restricted etc, and how we can engage in democracy, even without voting. Too many young people misunderstand our political system, and therefore are unable to independently analyse policies put forward by parties, leading them to be easily manipulated by the media. Educate them and allow people to make informed choices, and increase security of democracy.
