Trust.
Inspection.
Purpose.
These were the three most talked about issues when I interviewed over 50 teachers, leaders, thinkers and shapers from all across the FE system and beyond this year. My question was simple but hard: “what might be the features of a self-improving FE system?”
Everyone wanted to be working in such a system, but nobody said they currently were.
Everyone thought that trust was an essential missing ingredient, but nobody thought the mistrust lay with them.
