  • Regional Profiles North-West 29 ● Cumbria Institute of the Arts Carlisle College__▲■✚ University of Northumbria at Newcastle (Carlisle Campus)
    North-West Introduction The North-West has an area of around 14,000 km2 and a population of over 6.3 million. The metropolitan area of Greater Manchester is by far the most significant centre of population, with 2.5 million people in the city and its wider conurbation. Other major urban areas are Liverpool, Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Chester and Carlisle. The population density is 477 people per km2, making the North-West the most densely populated region outside London. However, the population is largely concentrated in the southern half of the region. Cumbria, by contrast, has the third lowest population density of any English county. Economic development The economic output of the North-West is around £78 billion, which is 10 per cent of the total UK GDP. The region is very varied economically, with most of its wealth created in the heavily populated southern areas. Important manufacturing sectors for employment and wealth creation are chemicals, textiles and vehicle engineering. Unemployment in the region is 5.9 per cent, compared with the UK average of 5.4 per cent. There is considerable divergence in economic prosperity within the region. Cheshire has an above average GDP, while Merseyside ranks as one of the poorest areas in the UK. The total income of higher education institutions in the region is around £1,400 million per year. Higher education provision There are 15 higher education institutions in the North-West: eight universities and seven higher education colleges. An additional 42 further education colleges provide higher education courses. There are almost 177,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) students in higher education in the region.

Next steps 30 Acknowledgments 33 4 Shaping the digital future of FE and skills Introduction Introduction In March 2020, colleges in the UK closed their doors and rapidly moved to wholescale remote learning and teaching. Emergency IT infrastructure and software was brought in at pace, along with fast-track digital upskilling for staff and learners. Such upheaval posed a challenge for many but most prevailed with their best endeavour. Within a matter of days, most learners could log into live-streamed lectures or later watch the recording; they could download e-books, videos or other resources; and they could submit work online. Although this kind of studying was typical during lockdown, the use of technology was often simplistic and not always as engaging, exciting or collaborative as it could be. It sufficed as a stopgap but we need a more ambitious model for the future. And at present, in the absence of readily available, affordable, accessible and engaging digital resources and assessment tools, such as immersive virtual reality, there are courses, such as engineering, construction, or hospitality and catering, which are impossible to deliver entirely online.
