…igher education, and offers solutions and steps the sector can take to overcome them. There have been far too few care leavers going to university for far too long. The numbers are staggering: just 12% of care-experienced pupils compared to 42% of their peers. It’s not fair that care leavers should have far worse educational and life chances than the general population, especially since we already know the reasons why. The problem starts at school…
…he ICB chair, CEO and chief people officer to co-create workforce solutions. More commonly, ICBs have sub-committees such as people boards that allow for engagement with stakeholders from HE, FE and schools, although it is often constrained to narrow issues such as human resources. At the other end of the scale, there are ICBs in which there is limited understanding of universities’ role in the development and retention of the healthcare workforce…
…It’s the same with innovation: the more one innovates, the more innovation comes along. But, for me, innovation without purpose, a social dimension, is nothing more than a vanity project.

When I hear people whom I have supported say that what I am doing is important…

Taking a boat trip along the Seine, visiting the Eiffel Tower, eating proper French croissants, exploring Paris and discovering its nightlife all added to this memorable experience. Finally, at the end of the programme, we presented our idea to the judges. As we listened to the closing speaker and awaited their judgem…
…improving technical and further education is essential for developing the UK’s skills base. According to the World Economic Forum, more than half of all employees will require extensive upskilling or reskilling as early as 2022. We do not have much time to ensure we have the post-18 education ecosystem needed to achieve this mammoth task. Neither universities nor colleges can do it alone. That is why University Alliance is calling on the next gov…
…ncrease participation, to compete on a level playing field with our global competitors. The review’s recommendations on a variable top-up depending on the course “value”, risks a long-term attack on arts, humanities and social sciences. It risks being hugely disingenuous and is a massive disservice to our creative industries, again restricting choice for students. And that’s before we really get into the analysis on the proposed changes to fees re…
