- Economic Development;
- Social Inclusion;
- Curriculum Delivery,
- Excellence;
- International Dimension;
- Governance;
- College Partnerships;
- Funding Model and College Sustainability;
- Promoting the Further Education Sector;
The themes and associated policy commitments are based on the FE sector’s two core purposes – economic development and social inclusion.
The College worked closely with the Governing Body in discussing the implications of the document and in formulating an official response. We want to ensure that the new strategy helps shape and guide the sector in much the same way as its predecessor – FE Means Business.
We’ll be working with the Department in coming months to ensure that the final strategy fulfils its potential and will be keeping you updated on progress.
