Readers of this blog will know that I am a bit of a skeptic when it comes to mergers and "big is beautiful" – including in FE. The “synergies” (wince) and other benefits are identified and extrapolated – the downsides aren’t always. The distraction involved is almost never fully taken on board.
According to today’s Times Education Supplement the Learning and Skills Council may be showing a change of heart on mergers. The merger criteria are being revised.
This is welcome when nearly one in ten colleges are reportedly now in merger talks.
