POST-16 EDUCATOR ON ZOOM
Jane Lethbridge discussed:
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE CHANGING H.E. WORKFORCE?
Thursday 26 May 2022, 6.30 - 7.30
In December 2021, Alison Wolf and Andrew Jenkins published a report: The new staffing patterns of UK higher education. To start this PSE discussion, Jane Lethbridge will analyse this report and look at how these changes are reflected in one post-1992 university (University of Greenwich) and the implications of these changes. The risks, threats and radical scope of these changes will fundamentally change higher and further education in future.
