Minister Halfon delivered a speech about land-based colleges, and the difference they make at a local and national level across the country.
Good morning. It is great to be meeting so many college leaders and seeing their fantastic provision during national colleges week! Only this morning I was at Tresham College’s Kettering campus a few miles from here.
I feel privileged to be with you today to talk about land-based colleges, and the real difference you make at a local and national level across the country. From horticulture to agricultural engineering, your teaching is an incredible asset to our skills infrastructure. What you do might not always receive the recognition it deserves from those of us who live in cities. But our quality of life greatly depends upon the work and stewardship your fantastic students will go on to do. And I am incredibly grateful. Thank you.
