Skills Led Recovery

Students on practical courses such as construction, engineering, motor vehicle and hair and beauty have been hit hardest, because it is most difficult to replace practical teaching through online delivery. English, maths and ESOL have seen varied engagement levels online, especially for lower-level students and those with special educational needs. Nearly three quarters (71%) of colleges are providing additional tuition over and above the tuition fund with many teaching over the Easter holidays to make up for lost learning.

East Sussex College lecturer becomes a published author

I was aiming for somewhere between 250 - 300 pages, but a few things tipped it just over the 300 mark. Fact-checking and more recipes! As you can imagine, science is constantly evolving, so I had to check that things were up to date and accurate - that took me almost a year to make sure it was all still relevant. Then, as I approached my launch date of May 2020 - the global pandemic hit the UK. My publisher and I had discussed pushing the launch back until 2021, but we decided to go ahead for this year, once the printing company could re-open. The extra time gave me an opportunity to include a few more recipes. These were dishes that I had created at home and had been inspired by other people over the years, including a lovely lady called Hayley North.
