Looking Ahead to 2026/27 in FE: What can we expect?

Talking FE are pleased to present our free start-of-year webinar, Looking Ahead to 2026/27 in FE. Every new academic year lands with the same question: what's actually coming, and how much of it will change how colleges plan, fund, and deliver? To help, we've brought together two industry experts who spend their working lives close to that picture.

Bill Watkin CBE (CEO, Sixth Form Colleges Association) and Catherine Sezen MBE (Director of Education Policy, Association of Colleges) will look at the policy shifts worth watching, where funding and accountability are heading, and what it all means for the decisions you're making now. There's a live Q&A too, so you can put your own questions to both speakers.

Wednesday 23 September 2026, 4:00pm to 5:00pm (BST). Free to attend. Can't make it live? Register anyway and we'll send you the recording.
