Illustration for Report, a magazine from the british education union ATL. About how a government review of 39 areas leads to funding cuts, in order to get fewer, larger colleges in England. Unions and teachers are worried about what this means for colleges and schools.  Consequences of this include: cutting jobs, scrapping courses, closing down smaller colleges/ assimilating them with bigger ones, making it harder for students to find a close-by college with the courses they want/need, leading to elitism, etc.
