15th April - Suffolk New College Receives £1.2m for Vital Upgrades

I am delighted to have worked with our Labour Government to secure vital investment for Suffolk New College.

The College will be given the flexibility to decide how the funding is spent, so it can be directed where it is needed most.

I’m passionate about ensuring that every young person in Ipswich can access the education, training and skills they need to go on and succeed in the job they want to do.

I back the Prime Minister’s bold target to get two-thirds of young people to be taking a gold standard apprenticeship or heading to university by the age of 25. As shown by this announcement, this ambition is backed up by investment.

I will keep fighting to ensure our brilliant schools and colleges in Ipswich are given the funding they need to educate our town’s next generation to the highest possible standards.
