I was back in Parliament recently to attend a round table meeting to discuss the progress of Skills England after its first year.
It was a vibrant and challenging session with some tremendous contributions from the participants.
After 30 years of working in and around the skills sector it still remains a mess particularly in Higher and Further education. However Skills England under their inspirational Chair Phil Smith are getting a grip on things, asking the difficult questions and focussing on what really matters. I left the meeting feeling very encouraged.
