In this episode we’re looking at the FE and skills curriculum and asking what a new government needs to do to ensure it is fit for purpose and future-proof.
To do this we’re joined by David Gallagher, CEO of NCFE, an educational charity and leader in vocational and technical learning, and Karen Spencer, Principal and Chief Executive of Harlow College. From the importance of Level 2 qualifications to the need for better relationships between employers and educators, and the need for Government to trust and respect the sector more, David and Karen outline their policy asks and hopes for whoever forms the next Government.
