The end of colleges as we know them?
A speech by Gordon Brown left the further education sector uneasy about what the future holds
This potential dismantling of the further education college was announced during a speech at the Confederation of British Industry annual conference two weeks ago. "In the old world, you had colleges for everything that happened after school," Gordon Brown told the CBI. "Now we need a new focus on 16- to 19-year-olds in sixth-form centres and a similar focus on community colleges with state-of-the-art training facilities that increasingly specialise in adult vocational excellence."
