Jo Grady at #Lab24. Post-compulsory education needs investment now - but it also needs an optimistic and inspiring vision of how education can change lives and transform communities. Thanks to UCU for supporting this work - and to co-authors John Holford and Eddie Playfair

A few thoughts about the role of Colleges in supporting the government's missions. I'm also reflecting on skills, policy and pedagogy. Quite a lot to squeeze into five minutes! youtu.be/aDhe8vltnUg Thank you to Education and Training Foundation (ETF) & FE News for the opportunity. Association of Colleges (AoC)

I'm at a Curriculum & Assessment Review roadshow today. This review is a great opportunity for colleges to help shape the 16-19 offer and FE voices need to be heard. We'll be sharing an Association of Colleges (AoC) draft response for discussion tomorrow - well ahead of the 22 Nov deadline.

Our Association of Colleges (AoC) draft response to the Curriculum & Assessment Review has just gone live. We hope it will prompt discussion and that colleges will respond in large numbers. This is a great opportunity to help shape the system and benefit our students! d4hfzltwt4wv7.cloudfront.net/uploads/files/…

Big week for the Chancellor, hoping it might be a good week for colleges. After 14 tough years, they need something in the #Budget24 to show that the next decade will be about HM Treasury investing for people, communities, fair economic growth
