Event Report - Linking London Friday News Round (January)
Our monthly round up of what's been going on, as well as a look ahead to what鈥檚 coming up helps our partners keep tabs on all the key things that are going on in the world of education.
Our ever-popular Friday News Round 鈥 updating partners on recent developments in the education sector 鈥 started with a brief cover of key news headlines, including the debates surrounding the increased levels of student absences.
We then discussed recent apprenticeship-related data and reports, as well as the various definitions of 鈥渆ducational gain鈥 found in providers鈥 TEF submissions.
We also touched on the access of international students to English HEIs, perceptions of higher education among white working-class students, and the importance of sleep for student success.
Finally, we covered OfS and UCAS updates, the worrying state of HE finances, and the controversies over franchise HE provision.
