We are doing this through 37 area reviews of post-16 provision. The aim of the reviews is to create strong and financially resilient colleges which are specialised centres of expertise that are able to work together to produce the skilled workers that local businesses need. These institutions will work with other colleges and providers to deliver high- quality technical and professional education, including at levels 3, 4 and 5. We are conducting the reviews in 5 waves: wave 1 – September to November 2015 wave 2 – started in January 2016 wave 3 – started in April 2016 wave 4 – started in September 2016 wave 5 – starts in November 2016 Steering groups Each review is led through a steering group made up of representatives from the areas covered by the relevant review, including: college chairs of governors supported by their college principals local enterprise partnerships (LEPs) Reviewing post-16 education and training institutions area reviews (waves 1 to 5) - GOV_UK.htm[19/10/2016 14:17:44] Reviewing post-16 education and training institutions: area reviews (waves 1 to 5) - GOV.UK local and combined authorities further education and sixth-form college commissioners regional schools commissioners Conduct of the reviews Each review will start by assessing the economic and educational needs of the area, and the implications for post-16 education and training provision, including: school sixth forms sixth-form colleges further education colleges independent providers The reviews will then concentrate on further education and sixth-form colleges. Other institutions (including schools and independent providers) can ask to opt in to an area review and be part of any potential restructuring. Area review reports We will produce a report for each area review covering the recommendations that the steering group has agreed and which we expect colleges to implement. Greater London There will be 4 reviews to cover the Greater London area: Reviewing post-16 education and training institutions area reviews (waves 1 to 5) - GOV_UK.htm[19/10/2016 14:17:44] Reviewing post-16 education and training institutions: area reviews (waves 1 to 5) - GOV.UK London (West) started in wave 2 London (Central) started in wave 2 London (South) included in wave 3 London (East) included in wave 3 We have included representatives from the regions in each London review to make sure they are consistent with the reviews outside the capital. The Mayor of London will chair an overview steering group to ensure that the recommendations and outcomes of the 4 reviews are co-ordinated during wave 3. Capel Manor College is a specialist college that recruits from across the capital. Because of this, it’s being included as part of the overall London steering group rather than one of the specific area reviews.

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.
