FE News Podcast: #FutureofEducation News Channel FE News

In October 2023, FE News held its first-ever event - The FE Collective!

The FE Collective is a flipped conference where the audience works together to share ideas, visions and solutions, and develop a joint plan to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing the FE and Skills sector.

All of which contributed to a revolutionary collaborative report. In this stream, we will discuss this epic report and even bring in some of our speakers from the day to get their views and opinions!

In this episode, Aman Merchant, the Co-Founder and Chief Provocateur at Radicle, a futures lab that delivers transformative solutions, discusses why he co-founded the RewirEd Sandbox. This global platform is set to transform education systems and will help bring together pioneers, leaders, and innovators within and beyond the education sector to design ‘RewirEd Provocations’, the solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing the education system globally today.
With 1.6 billion children missing out on an education – the RewirEd Sandbox will help create the RewirEd Provocations, north-star statements or questions that will help to move current thinking from the usual to the unusual and address systemic, complex, and structural challenges impacting the education system. The RewirEd Sandbox and Provocations will help shape the new global narrative for the education sector, and will be presented on a global scale at the RewirEd Summit during Expo 2020 Dubai.

The RewirEd Summit will be held on December 12th to 14th, 2021 at Expo 2020 Dubai.

Juliet Kyobweine, Deputy Program Manager at Educate talks about the need to equip young people in Africa with the skills to attain further education, overcome gender inequities, start businesses, get jobs, and drive development in their communities.

#NoLearnerLeftBehind - Welcome to the first @FENews #Livestream in conjunction with @CognAssist
We all know that learner dropout is a serious issue. Approx 35% of Apprentices drop out. The big question is, how do we prevent apprentices from dropping out?

Your host is Gavin O’Meara, CEO of FE News and your panelists are:

Dr. Louise Karwowski, Director of Education, Cognassist,
Sally Dicketts, AoC President and CEO Activate Learning, and
Helen Wilson, Science Communication Manager, Cognassist and handbook author of How to Prevent your Apprentices from Dropping out.
The panel explores how recent events have impacted dropout rates of Apprentice completion rates. We explore if non-completion rates are an age old problem and the panel shares successful tactics reduced Apprentice dropout, particularly for learners with Additional Learning Support needs.

The panel then explores the recent updates from the ESFA and the new rules added for August 2021. These are updates from ESFA to Apprenticeship Rules 21-22, the panel in particular focus on the new rules about Additional Learning Support and how the ESFA is discouraging blanket screen learners, which appears counterintuitive.

The panel discuss the new ESFA recommend changes and how this will have an intended knock on effect for learner outcomes and Apprentice drop out rates.

How would the proposed ESFA changes could impact the ability of colleges and ITPs to properly fulfil their legal requirements of the Equalities Act 2010 and how the changes could impact the Ofsted requirement to establish starting points and tailor delivery to all learners?

Check out the livestream with Gavin, Sally, Louise and Helen who explore how to Prevent Apprentice Dropout, particularly with learners with Additional Learning Support needs
