Description
The final sparqs’ National Education Officers’ Network (NEON) of 2021 took place on 9th December. The network was set up in 2019 in response to feedback from student officers who expressed the need for a national officer network with members from both universities and colleges.
It is designed to be a space for officers to network and work on issues together in a cross-sector capacity. This events are aimed at student officers with education remits from colleges and universities across Scotland.
We had a packed agenda, with a session on the SQA and Education Scotland Review, at wich we were joined by Professor Ken Muir, who is leading the Review, for a student-specific discussion to gather officers' views on changes to these national agencies and implications for curriculum and assessment. We also had a split college/university session on current issues relevant to each sector, finishing with a joint session on what the future Tertiary Quality Framework may look like.
