I am pleased to be part of the Sector Advisory Group for the Assuring Academic Standards in the Age of AI. As AI continues to reshape learning, teaching, and assessment, it is essential that the further education college sector contributes its perspectives and expertise to these important discussions. I am keen to work with colleagues across the sector to help ensure that approaches to assessment and academic standards remain robust, inclusive and relevant for the diverse learners we support.
