In an increasingly interconnected world, the frameworks governing higher education across the UK play a crucial role in shaping collaborations, benefiting communities, enhancing regional development, and driving business innovation. With the devolved governance structure in place, each UK nation—England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland—has developed distinct frameworks to guide and evaluate their higher education institutions. Although research is funded UK-wide, teaching, students and knowledge exchange are devolved to different nations, and there are different fees and student finance policies between these nations. In today's blog, Elizabeth Goodyear delves into how these frameworks operate within each nation and how they compare to established systems like the Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) and the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework (TEF). https://lnkd.in/eES5PZGE

"To date, the national higher education field has developed multiple frameworks of metrics, thresholds, and consequences by which different oversight entities could hold institutions accountable for student outcomes. *Few proposals, however, provide sufficient detail about how federal, state, or institutional policies can properly coordinate, fund, design, support, and oversee improvement in student outcomes, and ideally do so as a coherent system.*" Please systems thinkers, apply.

States vary considerably in the degree to which they define, fund and collect data on noncredit offerings. And most state policymakers have limited information about the role noncredit education plays in the lives of learners and the competitiveness of the state economy. Check out a new piece in Inside Higher Ed from Kenyatta Lovett, Ph.D. that makes the case for states to step up and take the lead in ensuring that noncredit programs lead to real opportunity for learners.

It's that time of year when many graduating high school students are looking for a little financial help as they consider the costs of post-secondary education. Our founding CEO Scott Hannah understood this and the power of a helping hand in combination with education to ensure people are empowered when it comes to financial and debt management. What better way to honour Scott's legacy then to offer 5 scholarships that focus on a student's passion for personal finance and helping communities focus on the importance of financial literacy. If you have kids graduating this year (or are one yourself) that share this passion, check out the below scholarship details! #financialfreedom #financialeducation #financialempowerment #financialhealth #scholarships #postsecondaryeducation #skilledtrades

When developed with intention, dual enrollment provides learners with much more than just standalone academic credit. It helps them take the first steps on their specific journey into postsecondary education and their careers. Over the past year, we had the opportunity to participate in conversations on national pathways to ensure young people have equitable access to postsecondary opportunities that lead to good careers. Facilitated by Bellwether, participating organizations dedicated to equity, education, and career pathways focused on innovative policy solutions for issues in the field today. Advance CTE partnered with Jobs for the Future (JFF) and the College in High School Alliance to develop federal policy recommendations for shifting the role of dual enrollment in a learner’s education journey from a fragmented offering to a focused value add. These recommendations include data and accountability, new policy language, leveraging funding, systems alignment, and more. Today, we are excited to share From Fragmented to Focused: Intentional Dual Enrollment and the Federal Role in Maximizing Student Experiences: https://lnkd.in/eAjvah7x

Dear, University of Utah Dream Center Friends:  Lack of financial resources and access to professional development opportunities make undocumented students’ dreams and aspirations almost impossible to achieve. Federal law does not allow for their employment, except for those qualifying for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).   At the Dream Center, through the ASPIRE Fellowship Program, we provide professional development and experiential learning opportunities regardless of immigration status. Students who participate in the program receive $4,000.  Please consider a gift to the Dream Center to provide undocumented students access to professional development opportunities. As stated by one of our student participants: “By investing in this program, donors are not only supporting the education and development of undocumented students but are also empowering individuals to become future leaders in their communities.” - 3rd Year Can undocumented students at Utah count on your support today? To make a gift of $5, $10, 20, $50, $100 or more, click on the link below:  

While #economicdevelopment and the workforce was listed as the top issue for 2024, all of the issues highlighted in the survey are intertwined. Addressing students’ basic needs (housing and food) will lower equity gaps and increase student success and completion, which will raise graduation rates. And that’s just one example. We can send more #communitycollegestudents into the workforce by taking an intersectional approach and welcoming the whole student to our campuses! #highered2024
