* Paul Mackney this week insisted that NATFHE does not want lecturers appraised and pay related to performance, contrary to the suggestion in FE Focus (February 12).
“In a recent letter to the DFEE, which outlined NATFHE’s objections to the unjust and chaotic state of FE lecturers pay and conditions, I wrote ‘to overlay performance pay on this unmitigated shambles would be an unmitigated disaster.’ “Similarly, I have not advocated any ‘deal’ for lecturers. ”
