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/…
