Hello, winter

Skills Minister's keynote address to the Association of Colleges Baroness Jacqui Smith's keynote speech at the Association of Colleges national conference.

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...

Ofqual's CASLO Research Programme Over the past few years, Ofqual has invested in a programme of research into what we now refer to as the ‘CASLO’ approach to qualification design.

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

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
