Educational cuts

Well I have had a great start to my day, I am at work (College), and meant to be viewing a movie for my Film & TV student, the room I normally use has been double booked so I had to find a new one, which I did, moved the students to the new room and explained a little about the film and what they were expected to do after. so I load the film and No fucking sound, I spend the next 30 minutes trying to sort it out, nothing, so I contact IT and they tell me they know about the problem but they have no money to fix it? What? No money to fix it, thats crap, Out of 6 projectors in the lecturing rooms I use we are now down to 3 because "We can't afford to fix them", so what the fuck am I meant to do I ask, I don't know comes the reply but we may have some money in next years budget (August 2017), a fat lot of good that is to me and my students, so at this point a send them to the LRC and get them do some research for later today.

After investigating the problem a little further I find the the funding for the college has been reduced, also the management team from last year over spent by £4 million, yeah that's right £4 million quid and they have just a year to recover it which means no money for anyone, WTF is this country coming to when we can't buy the equipment needed for our courses, I have already out of my own pocket bought a SteadyCam to use as again the college can't afford to buy one.

We used to be able to take students on trips and get the money from the college, not anymore, if we want to arrange a trip anywhere, even to the local Cinema to see a film, the kids have to pay for it them selves which think is wrong, they pay a lot of money for their courses up to £8000.00 and they are then expected to pay on top for any activities outside e of the college.  WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

The government needs to get their act together, these kids are our future, it bad enough that they leave University with huge debts, I am pleased I am the age I am and don't have these worries.
