FE Week:
Election questions from across the FE and skills sector

30 March 2015

As the election period officially begins FE Week spoke to figures across the sector to ask them what three FE and skills questions they'd like answered by the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats in the run up to the general election on May 7 - as well as a bonus question on a subject of their choice.

Dr Sandra McNally, director of the Centre for Vocational Education Research at the London School of Economics:

What three FE and skills questions would you like politicians to answer before the election?
  • By how much would you cut the adult skills' budget?
  • What measures will you introduce to improve basic skills in the working age population?
  • How do you think the quality of apprenticeship programmes should be monitored?
What else?
  • What measures would you take to improve UK productivity?
