National Education Officers' Network meeting

Description

Our first meeting of sparqs’ National Education Officers’ Network (NEON) for 2025-26 took place on Tuesday 28th October

NEON is designed to be a space for student officers with education remits from colleges and universities across Scotland, to receive additional training and development opportunities, including networking and discussing issues together in a cross-institutional capacity.

This session had a particular focus on supporting student officers to participate in the Self Evaluation and Action Plan (SEAP) mechanism within the Tertiary Quality Enhancement Framework (TQEF).
