Richard Cartwright, Senior Teaching Fellow in Accountancy in the Business School, and President of ICAEW Southern, has been appointed to one of the government’s new technical education panels.
These panels are tasked with helping to shape the future of technical education in the UK. Richard is to be a member of the accountancy panel, which will be chaired by Maura Sullivan, Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer of the international bank, International Wealth Management UK, a position which brings £4,000 per annum into the Business School in enterprise income.
Together with other panel members, he will be helping to create T levels, the new technical qualifications equivalent to A levels that are intended to give young people in this country the world class skills employers need.
The panel’s work will facilitate the transformation of full and part-time college-based courses into high quality technical education options, which fit alongside recently government-reformed apprenticeships and lead up to the highest levels of education and training. The panel will report to the Department for Education.
