Letter: The high price of adult education cuts

Letter: It has come to my attention that short evening classes for adults are no longer going to be run at Telford College due to cuts in college funding.

This is going to have a major impact on the local community.

Many people who want to return to work after having children or an illness and need to retrain for employment will not now be able to do so. Also the tutors who run the evening classes will have to look elsewhere to gain extra teaching hours. This may mean they leave the profession.

Many students have aspirations of achieving their goals but these cuts are going to prevent someone getting off benefits and back into paid employment.
