Why the UCU is calling for support for its Fund the Future campaign
Education has to be at the heart of our recovery from this crisis, but it can only deliver with proper support, says UCU leader JO GRADY

THIS week at TUC Congress, the University and College Union (UCU) will call on the wider trade union movement to back its Fund the Future campaign.

The campaign aims to secure funding to guarantee the future of our colleges and universities, protect jobs and deliver a better post-16 education system underpinned by fairness, equality and co-operation.

The campaign stems out of a Covid crisis that has seen colleges and universities on the front line.
