Our last ever EDSK report is out today - and it tackles the small matter of the future of the entire post-18 education system in England. 👇

If you are wondering why HE dominates the entire post-18 education system, simple examples like this in our new EDSK report shed some light on the situation. The sheer scale of inequity is hard to ignore.

If Bridget Phillipson and Jacqui Smith want to put not just universities but also colleges and apprenticeships on a secure and stable long-term footing, may I humbly recommend our new EDSK report....

As our new EDSK report explains, colleges and apprenticeships could (and should) play a crucial role in driving local and regional economic growth. There is no empirical reason to always prioritise full-time university degrees over other routes and pathways.

Our new EDSK report tries to give students from poorer backgrounds a much-needed financial boost to relieve some of the pressures that they currently face. 👇

If we are going to break down the (often artificial) divides between HE, FE and apprenticeships, central government needs to clearly signal its intention to build integrated tertiary system. Our new EDSK report explains more. 👇

Labour are keen to push ahead with devolution, and our new EDSK report makes the case for extending this to HE, FE and apprenticeships. 👇

As our new EDSK report shows, simply adding more money into a broken system is not a sensible or desirable solution. Instead, the Government should put its time and money into creating an integrated post-18 / 'tertiary' system.

Universities are a crucial component of the education system, but it is time to end the bias towards university degrees in the way that we fund post-18 institutions and students, as our new EDSK report explains....

This is a typically thoughtful & interesting report from Tom Richmond EDSK . Lots of food for thought on building a tertiary education system in England.

The Labour manifesto said they want to 'better integrate FE and HE'. So if Bridget Phillipson and Jacqui Smith want to deliver this, where would they start, and what obstacles lie ahead? Hope you enjoy my conversation with two international experts on this topic! 👇
