College Governance
The English College system is amongst the best in the world and has a central role in supporting the attainment of young people and adults, preparation for employment and further study and continued skills development. It supports the aspirations of its learners, both for their own sake and to serve the needs of society. It also plays a role in shaping democratic, sustainable and inclusive communities. These well-defined purposes create the need for governance structures and practices which involve engaging with governors, staff, learners, parents / carers, other education partners and the business community.
