A complimentary webinar from FETN in association with e-Memoir

​

The Further Education sector faces many challenges in delivering effective tutorial provision. With major changes to the English and maths condition of funding being introduced from this August, providers of 16-19 study programmes, including T levels, will have to reformulate their curriculum plans and increase the number of hours for both English and maths. This could have significant implications for tutorial provision and support for the individual needs of learners. At the same time changes to the way that adult skills programmes and apprenticeships are funded, and the continued emphasis on good retention and achievement, highlight the importance of good quality tutorial support for these learners.

 

This interactive webinar led by Dr Sally Wootton and Beej Kaczmarczyk, will identify some of the key issues found across the sector and explore strategies to overcome these challenges.

 

​

​

This webinar with take the form of a Q&A session. Participants will be invited to send questions regarding their tutorial provision prior to the event. General themes will be drawn from these questions and discussed during the webinar.
