Excellence In Education

20th - 21st October 2021
Delta Hotels by Marriott

Tuition fees! That’s all we seem to hear about when it comes to Further and Higher Education. You would have thought that with higher tuition fees there would be more money for universities and colleges. You would be wrong! The overall funding that institutions receive has actually fallen as have the numbers of staff. Students have more choice than before and far more access to information when it comes to choosing the location for their continued education and what they study.

Technology is playing an even greater role in the education of students, both in terms of how they learn but also how Universities and Colleges deliver their “service”. However, with technology constantly evolving and expectations becoming greater, what do educational institutions need to do in order to stay one step ahead? Interaction between students and lecturers is changing, the way they learn often involves the use of technology as well.

All of this is against a backdrop of decreasing International Students due to Brexit which is causing a drop of income at a time when institutions are having to grapple with the impact of COVID-19 on student educational development.

However, what next? Excellence In Education will bring together senior leaders from across the entire Further and Higher Education sector to share ideas and experiences with colleagues.
