Prof Ewart Keep appointed to the College of the Future Commission

A new independent commission has been created whose aim is to set out a “new vision” for the future of colleges across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Chaired by Sir Ian Diamond (chair of Edinburgh College’s management board) and supported by key organisations in FE and the skills sector across the four nations, this 16-member strong commission will publish a final report in the spring of 2020 with the aim of answering the question : ‘what does the college of the future look like?’.

Prof Keep has been appointed to this panel and will be involved in a range of round-table activities and workshops across the UK, as the commission builds its evidence base and recommendations for the ‘College of the Future’.
