Delegates at this seminar assessed the changing landscape of state-funded 14-19 learning, as increasing numbers of new providers enter the market.
It brought together senior policymakers and regulatory officials with key stakeholders including school and college leaders, sponsors of UTCs and Studio Schools, employers, local authority representatives, teaching leaders, parent and student representatives, academics and other interested parties.
Delegates assessed early indicators of the performance of the first waves of University Technical Colleges (UTCs) and Studio Schools, as well as the potential role of initiatives such as 'career colleges' in providing young people with a combination of academic and vocational learning.
They also discussed the impact of this increased diversity of provision, including more colleges admitting students at Key Stage 4, the extent to which increased choice at 14 is being extended equitably across all of England, and the effect on existing FE colleges and sixth form provision in areas where new providers are beginning to operate.
