I find it shocking that @TheStage have not reported on this development. Indicative of how we’ve been desensitised to the crisis in vocational training. Guess one more loss doesn’t matter anymore? .

Sending all the love to Phil & all at TTC. The college was viable - it’s the funding model that was broken. This was entirely avoidable. One more successful college gone.

As far as I recall @TTCpacollege has not needed to have multiple enquiries around abuse of students - yet they are the ones fighting for survival. Make it make sense - anyone?.

As interesting as this article is - it’s indicative of the establishment being supported by our industry’s media. Where is the reporting on @TTCpacollege who are literally fighting for their survival? @TheStage

Given how time pressured @TTCpacollege are for funding - it’s disappointing not to see their plight in @TheStage this week, or indeed online via the site. Have we reached empathy fatigue at the number of struggling colleges?.

And the mismanagement of a crisis when the 💩 eventually hits the 🪭 . Depressingly the constant appears to be that we’re letting our students down.

Shame on the Scottish Academy for failing its students in its final moments. That’s no legacy. Surely questions of Bath Spa here too tho?.

There are so many colleges struggling to find students this lot will easily find a place elsewhere. However it is also frustrating seeing 2nd rate courses scrabbling to offer places in a bid to secure their own survival 😢.

Questions need to be asked about why the students found out about this online . via social media!!. These things are 💩 for everybody but the people running the college still have a responsibility to be honest with the students left without a college.
