Candidate for the position of Vice President Education
Hurry, Vote Curry
Hey! I’m Robert-Jay, I am running for Vice President Education.
My first semester wasn’t a quiet one. I became a Student Rep, Department Rep and ran in the by-elections to become your Education Officer and I am passionate about the next step.
Education is never perfect; things can always be done to make your experience even better. This is why I’m running to be your next Vice President Education. Over the past Semester, I’ve been working alongside your current VP Education, Lauren and the Representation Team to deliver, the change that matters to you.
Since being elected, I have been working on a number of projects and working to defend education, contributing to the Union’s response to the Government’s damaging Green Paper.
Why should you vote for me? Here is what I will do:
We have an amazing Student Rep system but I think it can be even better. I want to ensure the experience you receive at UWE is the best it can be. Having over 1,000 Reps is great but with a restructure, the leaders of the future can represent you in ensuring your voice is heard.
As your elected Vice President Education, I will place a great emphasis upon accessible support you receive in the run up to and during exams. We lack support for our extended University family. If you can’t get to campus during the working day, then you don’t benefit from the services you are entitled to. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Mature, Part-Time or Post Graduate student. We all deserve the support to ensure we succeed.
I will work to create a system that is constructive in the feedback you receive. Feedback isn’t about the mark you get it’s how you progress from that point. I will work alongside course reps to make sure assessment methods work on your course and push for alternatives such as peer assessment and group work to be implemented. When used correctly, they will allow you, the student to progress to where you deserve to be.
If you were to elect me, as your Vice President Education, I will listen to what you want and ensure, when you need me, I will be there.
Just remember,
