Dame Ann Limb has been announced as the inaugural chair of the Lifelong Education Institute when it launches next month.
The institute will succeed the Lifelong Education Commission, which was set up by the MP and former minister Chris Skidmore to come up with policy ideas to “reshape post-18 education” and promote lifelong learning.
The commission has so far published reports on access to ESOL, increasing higher technical qualifications and, last week, recruiting and retaining teachers of technical subjects in colleges.
Its work is led by executive director Dr Marius Ostrowski who is supported by former college principal Andy Forbes, now head of development at think-tank Respublica.
