The UK government’s proposed changes in support for ESOL students mean that many students who now receive basic English courses for free will be forced to pay for their classes. These changes will undoubtedly affect the poorest and most vulnerable students, and is a further attack on migrant workers, refugees, asylum seekers and their families by the Labour government.
Meanwhile, a campaign to oppose these changes has been launched by the mainstream unions UCU, Unison, ACM, USDAW, and other organisations such as NATECLA, NIACE and the Refugee Council.
