Talks are under way for a London-based college to de-merge from its northern-based parent group, FE Week has learnt.
Lewisham College is understood to be in negotiations to be transferred from NCG to its neighbour London South East Colleges (LSEC).
In a joint statement, the two college groups said: “In view of the government’s levelling up agenda and the vital role that further education is set to play in this, NCG and London South East Colleges are engaging in early discussions regarding FE provision in Lewisham and opportunities to collaborate.”
“No decisions have yet been made,” the statements added, however, “discussions are wide-ranging and we look forward to exploring all options together, with a shared focus on continued high-quality FE provision in south-east London.”
