Join the Post-16 Education Leadership and Management RIG for its next event, ‘Navigating Structural Change in the Post 16 Landscape’.

During the event, a distinguished panel of guest speakers will discuss how the restructuring of further and higher education continues to gather momentum and the ways this is experienced. In the current context of funding challenges and changing priorities amid a state of flux, we will consider how Post-16 leaders are planning for the future of their organisations and what implications this has for leadership.

We hope you can join us.
