I met with Peter Roberts, Chief Executive and Principal of the Leeds City College, this morning...

It was encouraging to be able to share thinking with Peter and to discuss the opportunities nd challenges we face in building a learning and skills framework which starts with our primary schools in terms of first steps learning and into secondary schools, clusters and partnerships with their connections with the FE Colleges. This developing, simple and coherent framework should help us establish learning pathways for young people and increasingly tackle the issues around increasing the participation age, progression into further and higher education and those not in education, employment or training.
