Skills World Live Radio Show: Exclusive interviews with the skills minister and his Labour shadow

In the first extensive interview to be broadcast with Minister Burghart since he took up the role 8 months ago, Tom Bewick puts the government’s skills policies under the spotlight by conducting a wide-ranging examination of:

• Performance of the skills system under successive governments
• Fall in starts in apprenticeships and high withdrawal rates
• Opportunities for young people, particularly apprentices
• The creeping nationalisation of the skills agenda, via interventions like T Levels
• Qualifications reform and its controversies

Tune in to the live broadcast this Friday 27 May at 4.00pm, exclusively on FE News.
