The Association of Colleges (AoC) has set out in detail the reforms any future government needs to make in all areas of the FE and skills system with the publication of 14 policy papers.
The papers follow on from the publication of AoC’s 100% Opportunity report published last week, and the Opportunity England report in summer 2023, and have been developed with AoC member colleges.
Each paper provides an in-depth overview of current policies, the challenges posed by them, and then a set of specific recommendations to better meet the needs of 100% of young people and adults.
The papers cover: adult education, apprenticeships, assessment, curriculum, devolution, digital, higher technical education, inspection and accountability, internationalisation, local skills improvement plans (LSIPs), mental health, SEND, student experience and workforce.
