Description
Our first sparqs’ National Education Officers’ Network (NEON) meeting of 2021 took place on the morning of Thursday 21st January.
The network is designed to be a space for officers to network and work on issues together in a cross-sector capacity. This event is aimed at student officers with education remits from colleges and universities across Scotland.
This NEON event covered:
- Sustainability, particularly embedding sustainability in the curriculum.
- QAA Scotland’s Student Led Project.
- College Development Project and the College of the Future.
- The SFC review.
These are significant areas for the sector for the upcoming academic year and beyond, with the potential for far-reaching and long-lasting impacts on the sector. This event allowed an opportunity for student officers to influence the direction of these projects and to hear how they can get more involved with these initiatives over the next year.
