AoC President Chris Morecroft discusses his trip to China with the Prime Minister

AoC President Chris Morecroft discusses his recent trip to China with Prime Minister David Cameron and Education Secretary Michael Gove. Mr Morecroft points out that in China and India, Higher Education is not a big issue – but Further Education and Skills are. In China, the lack of Technical and Higher Technical skills, and Quality Assurance processes in FE and skills, are a major concern.

Mr Morecroft met with the Minister of Education in China, who is responsible for 1.2 billion people, 1200 polytechnics and 1.3 million teachers.

The outcome of the meeting was two memorandums of understanding for joint work between China and the UK.
