At NCFE, we are committed to positive change. From empowering learners to strengthening communities, you can see the evidence of our impact through the powerful stories and insights that shape who we are and what we do.
We reflect on our performance and impact in the further education sector annually. We are proud of the progress we have made, and we are keen to share inspirational stories to show where we have made a difference throughout the year.
We also recognise the areas where we drive even greater improvements. Showcasing both our strengths and the opportunities we see for growth ensures that our influence is used not only to benefit learners but to advocate for meaningful, long-term change across the entire education landscape.
