The survey is the first of its kind and designed to assess the views of teachers and all those who work in adult, further and higher education. The aim is to ensure their opinions affect the implementation and development of the new 14-19 qualification.
We are a new national charity set up to support all adult, further and higher education staff and their families, regardless of age, length of service or union affiliations, to improve their wellbeing and effectiveness.
