South East Forum Annual Conference Positive Futures: Focusing On What We Can Achieve. Location: Edinburgh Napier University, Craighouse Campus (12.30pm-4pm)

Wed, 27 Apr 2011 11:01:06 +0000

The Programme will include:

• The Schools for Higher Education Programme (SHEP) to be funded until July 2013

• Update on Curriculum for Excellence pilots and activity agreements from Learning & Teaching Scotland

• Achievements of Looked After Young People pilots

• The future of SWAP in 2011/12- 2012/13

The student voice will also be included to demonstrate what impact programmes have had on learners. There will also be opportunities to ask questions of speakers.

In a time of change and uncertainty, we will focus on the forum’s legacy as reflected in the programme (after the forums come to an end on 31 July 2011) and on what we can achieve together as Government priorities emerge.

What will looming public spending cuts mean for articulation and access agreements, and how can fairness and transparency be incorporated into the admissions process? Join the discussion and help influence policy in the run up to the Holyrood elections.
