Hello, winter

Great to hear Jacqui Smith, Skills Minister, speak to 1000 college leaders at @aoc-info.bsky.social annual conference about need to change culture - lifelong learning, reaching all, a love of learning, tertiary vision linking colleges with universities, less competition www.gov.uk/government/s...

Important research reports from Ofqual into so-called CASLO - qualifications that Confirm the Acquisition of Specified Learning Outcomes - aka many voc tech quals. Good insight into sad history of failed reforms over last 60 years. Much to learn for current reforms

A slow trickle of FE people crossing the floor over the weekend.

Much to like in this piece from @annlimb.bsky.social, following @aoc-info.bsky.social annual conference. Collaboration, place-making, college leaders as systems leaders, delivering across all 5 of Labour's missions. Our conference was upbeat & optimistic feweek.co.uk/we-must-look...

Busy week this week with a brilliant Association of Colleges annual conference in Birmingham. Came away tired, but inspired and ready to continue our work for this crucial sector I care about so much. On a personal note, I also loved taking Finlay to his first AoC conference
