| 151 | Anonymous | I enjoy art and feel that unless courses are IT,maths for for ethnic people nobody else matters!!!!! |
| 152 | Lanti | The IWW distances itself from ignorant prejudiced comments such as those made by signee No. 151. The campaign does not need the support of bigots. Please keep your ignorant comments off our petition. |

| 155 | Lez Bullwer | I have been wondering where all the courses had gone. |
| 156 | Anonymous | This is a very valuable and well loved local college and one of the few that continues to offer a good range of non-vocational courses for adults. |
| 157 | Anonymous | Adult Education courses should not be scrapped just because they are non-vocational. Art & Design and other courses have valuable and therapeutic benefits to service users and the community. They also encourage people (who are not school-leavers) to think about going into higher education. These people might not have otherwise considered doing so before. |

| 160 | Ursula Walllace | LAEC provide a excellent service. They are centrally located, making them very accessable. |

I very much doubt Chris Minter will turn out for this one after the embarrassment he turned out to be last time! Shame... |

| 168 | George M Ballentyne | I've worked for both the Adult Education College and Remit, which is based there now. They should be treated as precious resources by the City Council, and nurtured. There's nothing quite like them in the city - and those who should know better either don't appreciate this or choose to turn a blind eye. |

| 171 | christine hume | The college has served leicester so well why is the move allowed to happen its dreadful. the college has helped me gain confidence in teaching, after doing a course there. |
| 172 | Thomas A Kelly | I believe in adult education not in an instrumentalist and reductionist regimen of skills and training. I came to work at LAEC ten years ago because it was a college with students not because it was a service provider with clients. |
| 173 | Gayle Holmes | I fully support this campaign. The movement of the adult special needs class into the creche is a disgrace. How can this be defended?! It is humiliating and degrading.
LAEC management should hang their heads in shame. |

| 175 | john pelmore | I have been a student at LAEC intermittently since 1998, have been very pleased with the courses and am vey concerned about the future of the college. |

| 179 | Steven Hayles | Non-vocational courses are of benefit to physical and mental heath, and so are as important as vocational courses. |
| 180 | Pat Ball | I volunteer in a Basic Skills class at LAEC and have noticed over several years now (particularly the last couple of years) that the college has fewer staff and not so many courses. I am a retired person and deplore the decline in courses that are not formally examined. |

| 183 | A.J.BANHAM | I have just discovered the wonderful LEAC. It would be a tragedy to lose these facilities, and by being in the heart of the City access by public transport is easy. |
| 184 | wilson | This all really does seem to be a dogs dinner of a job... |
| 185 | Anonymous | I feel that it is very wrong to sideline the art courses by moving them to the Holy Cross rooms. Art provides a very valuable outlet for many members of the community including elderly people, the retired, those with mental health issues and those who can benefit from its therapeutic benefits. Holy Cross is an unsuitable venue. Not only is it dark with inadequate cleaning facilities but it also makes staff vulnerable, working alone in such an environment. |
| 186 | Danny Edon | It is vital that this college remains open |
| 187 | Sue Parkins | I have had long term experience of the College, bothas a student and as a tutor, and remember what a vibrant, exciting place it used to be. It is ideally place in the heart of the city and would be greatly missed by very many students if closure goes ahead |
| 188 | Doreen Chappell | Used to work there - best years of my working life. Left during reorganisation. |
| 189 | Susan Campbell | LAE is a lovely environment in which to learn and make friends, I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to study various art and design courses there. I always felt at ease and valued there, the knowledge I gained will remain with me always. I am very sad to think it is under jeopordy. |
| 190 | alan hutton | LAEC provides an excellent resource for the community of Leicester and should remain a Centre for Education |
| 191 | Andrew Walton | What happened to "education, education, education" - the promise when Blair came into power? Under Blair and Brown, it has been "privatisation, privatisation, privatisation". |

| 194 | Anonymous | I did GCSE ENGLISH AT laec after doing it at two other colleges. At LAEC it felt like I had actually learnt something. WHICH IS WHY I PLAN TO DO ANOTHER COURSE THERE |
| 195 | S H Mears | These educational establishment appear to be in decline in terms of courses on offer to the community. Find an empty building for the job centre, or pass the task on to the main job shop in Charles St. Why duplicate facilties and confuse the hunters? |
| 196 | narinder kaur | you already have the job centre for jobs, why close the learning centre as many people go and want to learn. this college gives you variety of courses that no one offers. jusy silly really |

| 198 | sarah wrann | I cannot find an art class for my retired and lonely mum. ITs a scandal!!! |
| 199 | Amanda Doran | I have noticed a shrinkage in the number of courses available and the lowering of levels of courses available. Learning has as much social value as instrumental learning. I have enjoyed high quality learning there in the past and hope to continue to do so. Being in the city centre is also an attractive feature. |
