Neil and Francis visit Stroud College
Neil Carmichael and Francis Maude MP visit Stroud College, an excellent example of future education provision
Neil Carmichael, Parliamentary Candidate for Stroud, and Francis Maude MP, Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office and responsible for policy implementation, visited Stroud College, learning more about the vitally important sector of future education.
The visit included a meeting with the Senior Leadership Team, comprising of Beri Hare, Principal, Andrew Clare, Deputy Principal, and Peter Clegg, Vice-Principal. The Board of Governors was represented by Vice-Chairman Carole Garfield. After the meeting, the group met students and toured the new building.
Neil Carmichael commented, “I have been a governor of Stroud College for many years and we have made massive progress - Stroud College is a success story - but coping with government targets, ‘initiatives’ and inflexible training schemes has not helped.
“I wanted to provide Francis Maude with the opportunity to see for himself how future education could radically improve if there was less intrusive interference from central government and the many agencies in the world of education.”
