The Association of Colleges has today published a FE Provider Strategy and Mandate which builds on the College of the Future report published in 2020.
The analysis underscores the need for an integrated tertiary system, one which is collaborative not competitive, with simplified funding and accountability, and a triple mandate for people, productivity and place.
This report was commissioned to explore the distinctive role of English colleges in the newly developing skills landscape arising post-pandemic and Brexit and against a backdrop of high inflation.
