  • Missing the Story: the UK Media's Neglect of Further Education
    MISSING THE STORY Missing the story: the UK media’s neglect of Further Education ESSAY March 2021 By James Kirkup, Director KEY POINTS • Newspapers and other media outlets do not pay enough attention to Further Education (FE) and the people who engage in it. They give disproportionate amounts of coverage to Higher Education (HE), which is directly relevant to fewer people. • Neglect of FE is symptomatic of a media industry that has undergone an important – but rarely discussed – shift towards journalism being dominated by university graduates. • Media neglect of FE is associated with political neglect – just as journalists write less about FE than HE, politicians talk less about it. • By ignoring FE and its role in the communities it serves, media outlets are failing to recognise the increasing importance of educational experience as a key factor in voting intention and other political behaviour. • FE and the skills it can impart should be seen by the media and politicians as a central element of any debate about “levelling up” and other attempts to address regional economic disparities and increase UK productivity. Kindly supported by 1 SOCIAL MARKET FOUNDATION ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND THANKS This essay has been supported by the Further Education Trust for Leadership, a grant- giving charity that has also supported the work of the SMF on post-16 education for several years. I and the SMF, as always, retain full editorial independence. Thanks are due to Dame Ruth Silver, President of FETL, for support, kindness and patience over several years. It’s been some time since Dame Ruth was directly responsible for delivering education services, but I’m proud to say I count myself as a student who has learned a great deal from her.
