An Overdue Confidence Vote in Colleges
The government's new post-16 education and skills white paper places colleges at the forefront of the government's ambitions for the country.
Colleges were described as "anchor institutions" that deliver on economic growth, productivity, place-making, and opening up opportunities for everyone, marking a big, positive step forward.
It shows a belief in colleges which we have not seen before and backs it up with some of the investment needed to overcome the long-term neglect the sector has suffered.
This sets a challenge to college leaders and the sector to step up and build on the great work being done already to reach more people, including employers.
The skills white paper signals real belief in FE, with funding, new pathways, and a bigger role for colleges.
