There's consensus that a system-wide approach to FE reform is needed, says AoC

David Hughes, Chief Executive, Association of Colleges, said: “Thanks to campaigning across the entire sector, the spotlight on further education is brighter than it’s ever been. FE has started to secure the additional funding it needs from the government, there is now recognition of the crucial role colleges have to play in their communities from the prime minister and cabinet ministers, and a seat at the table for FE leaders when major decisions are made in education and skills.
