Event Report - Linking London Friday News Round (February)
Our monthly round up of what's been going on, as well as a look ahead to what’s coming up helps our partners keep tabs on all the key things that are going on in the world of education.
Our ever-popular Friday News Round – updating partners on recent developments in the education sector – started with a brief cover of key news headlines, including UCAS numbers for 2024 applications.
We then summarised the recent debates on the state of HE finances, the potential role of AI in widening participation, and a report on students in reception of free school meals.
We also discussed student experience – especially the increasing number of hours student spend at work; publications and news articles related to apprenticeships; and the National Colleges Week.
Feedback from attendees at our News Round events has been really positive:
“Great digest of what is happening in the world of education.” University colleague
“It allowed me to acquire lots of relevant information in a short time.” College colleague
“Very useful overview of all the latest reports and initiatives in HE.” College colleague
The next Friday News Round will take place on March 22. You can book your place here.
