Post-16 Education Reform

Post-16 education reform

“Faster progression from college to university, greater collaboration between colleges - including mergers where appropriate - and a closer match between skills and employer needs”

Education Secretary Michael Russell 14.9.11

Operating in the context of the Scottish Government’s Post-16 Education Reform Programme and the changes driven by the introduction of tuition fees, Scotland’s Universities and Colleges have never been under more pressure to perform.

How robust is your strategy in the current climate of economic uncertainty?  How well will your organisation perform this year and next?  How will these external changes affect your whole business, from recruitment of students to retention of staff – is your team ready to tackle the challenges ahead?
