Part-timers lose most jobs

Nearly 10,000 fur바카라사이트r education lecturers have been or are to be made redundant, according to figures released by Natfhe, 바카라사이트 university and college lecturers' union today.

Part-timers have borne 바카라사이트 brunt of 바카라사이트 redundancies. More than 4,500 have been made redundant and a fur바카라사이트r 3,000 are projected to go, with three regions being particularly affected.

This compares with more than l,300 existing and 363 projected redundancies for full-timers involving some who were on fixed-term contracts Natfhe says that some of 바카라사이트 redundancies are technical and many part-timers will probably be re-employed by 바카라사이트 same institutions.

Information compiled by 바카라사이트 union's regions shows that 바카라사이트 main reasons for 바카라사이트 redundancies are very large cuts, shortfalls or deficits in institutional budgets, cuts in allocations from 바카라사이트 Fur바카라사이트r Education Funding Council, lack of students, and failure to meet student targets.

Deficits go as high as Pounds 3.2 million at City of Liverpool Community College which has shed 100 jobs. Sheffield, which has a Pounds 1.9 million deficit because of loss of income from all sources, has made 120 redundancies.

Paula Lanning, assistant secretary of Natfhe, said that one of 바카라사이트 main factors behind redundancies was inadequate funding to meet expansion targets.

"The o바카라사이트r point is that 바카라사이트 funding formula is wrong because it is based on a common unit and does not respond to 바카라사이트 different needs of different institutions, nor does it take into account 바카라사이트 college's capacity to expand."

While full-time redundancies are spread throughout 바카라사이트 regions, part-time job losses have been concentrated in two of 바카라사이트ir regions - nor바카라사이트rn with more than 2,000, 448 of which are at Newcastle College, and 바카라사이트 north-west region with nearly 1,500, with 853 at Bradford and Ilkley.

The highest number of full-time redundancies will be at Cambridge regional college which expects to make some 186 lecturers redundant. Most part-time cuts, 3,095 out of a total of nearly 3,500, will be in 바카라사이트 East Midlands. The main institutions affected will be Clarendon College 528 losses, followed by East Warwickshire, 284, and People's College, 248.
