UK universities offered to monitor students’ social media for arms firms, emails show Loughborough, Heriot-Watt and Glasgow corresponded with companies concerned about campus protests

Universities offer to monitor student social media for arms companies. Imagine that. Institutions meant to nurture free thought turning to surveillance. Education should challenge power, when learning fears protest, it’s not learning. #education #university #uk

Tax authorities examine finances of key Nigel Farage ally Exclusive: HMRC conducts scoping exercise into Reform UK backer ‘Posh George’ Cottrell’s income from business and wealth

Well HMRC’s looking into finances of one of Farage’s allies. You don’t need to be cynical to see a pattern, louder the “anti-elite” rhetoric, the murkier the money turns out to be. Populism shouts about the system, but always cashes in on it. #politics #uk

Six out of 10 UK secondary schools hit by cyber-attack or breach in past year Hackers are more likely to target educational institutions than private businesses, government survey shows

6/10 UK secondary schools faced cyber-attacks. It's not just data, it’s children’s safety, work, trust in the systems meant to protect them. We talk about “digital learning” like it’s progress, but forget the basic duty of care that comes with it. #education #uk

DfE Update further education: 1 October 2025

So extra funding for 16–19 students will only go to maths and a few “high-value” A-levels. That’s not investment, that’s rationing. Suggesting subjects only matter if the Treasury thinks they pay. Education should be about learning, not just the economy. #uk #education

Send costs will rise by billions without reforms, ministers told The Institute for Fiscal Studies says more than 200,000 extra children will need Send support by 2029.

More children being identified with special educational needs and spending is climbing. That shouldn’t be framed as a “problem.” It means we’re finally noticing needs that were always there. The real failure is how long support was missing originally. #education #uk

Initial teacher education thematic monitoring visits: overview report A report outlining findings from 78 thematic monitoring visits looking at the implementation of initial teacher education statutory guidance and other relevant themes.

Ofsted’s poking around teacher training again. 78 providers inspected, report written. But no amount of oversight solves the bigger problem, teachers are underpaid, overworked & leaving. Fix the pipeline all you want, if you don’t fix the profession, it leaks. #education

Everything you need to know about free school breakfast clubs Families will soon be able to start accessing free breakfast clubs lasting 30 minutes for their children before school through our new free breakfast club programme. Find out more.

Primary schools can bid for cash to set up or expand nurseries. On paper, £150k per school sounds helpful, but it’s a £15m pot across the whole country. Real investment in early years should be about children’s futures, not a token gestures. #uk #education

Government to scrap target for 50% of young people to go to university Sir Keir Starmer said he wants to promote a ‘gold-standard apprenticeship’.

Scrapping the “50% to university” target makes sense, an academic path isn't for all. Yet replacing a quote with quota doesn’t fix the problem. Education opens doors, to university, apprenticeships, learning for its own sake and not to box people into targets.

Conservationist Dame Jane Doodall dies aged 91 Dr Goodall was a world-leading expert on chimpanzees and a renowned conservationist.

Jane Goodall’s passing feels like losing a bridge between generations. She wasn’t just a scientist she helped us feel the earth was alive and worth protecting. Her legacy goes beyond her discoveries, its in how many of us learnt to listen to the wild.

Rest in peace!

Buy now, pay later use exploding among older Britons, data shows Almost a third of British adults lived largely cashless lives in 2024, says UK Finance

Buy Now, Pay Later isn’t just teenagers with apps, now people in their 50s and 60s turning to it. That’s not “convenience,” it’s a story about pressure. When older generations need BNPL to get by, it shows how fragile financial security has become. #uk #money
