College of the Future research progress report

Progress Report

In November 2019, the Independent Commission on the College of the Future published its progress report.

Between March and November 2019, the Commission held over 25 engagement sessions with a wide range of stakeholders across the UK’s four nations, from college and business leaders, to staff, students, trade unionists and policy-makers. This publication marked the halfway point of the Commission process. It aims to reflect the discussions we have had so far about what we want and need from our colleges in ten years’ time.

The progress report sets out short summaries of the key themes that had been raised and explored in conversations up to November 2019. It also presents questions that the Commmission to look at in more detail.
