Self learning is the way to go

I recently came across some news that is causing quite a stir in academic circles. It appears that members of the University and College Union (UCU) and EIS-Further Education Lecturers' Association (EIS-FELA) are taking action short of a strike in response to a dispute over pay. This has led to a marking boycott, which is understandably causing a great deal of frustration and concern among students and faculty alike.

It is clear that the current situation is far from ideal. The red tape and bureaucracy that often accompany labour disputes can make it difficult to focus on the task at hand - providing quality education to students. However, it is important to recognize that there are opportunities for growth and development even in challenging times such as these.

One such opportunity is the abundance of technology and entrepreneurial tools that are available to us. By embracing self-learning and taking advantage of these resources, we can continue to expand our knowledge and skills, even in the absence of traditional teaching and grading structures. This approach not only allows us to overcome the challenges posed by the current dispute but also equips us with valuable skills and knowledge that will serve us well in our future endeavors.

In conclusion, while the current situation may be frustrating and concerning, it is also an opportunity for growth and development. By embracing self-learning and taking advantage of the many resources available to us, we can continue to thrive and succeed in our academic and professional pursuits.
