About FE Week

FE Week is the leading source of news, insight and analysis for the further education, skills and apprenticeships sector.

We exist to inform what works, investigate what matters, and inspire what’s next across further education. Through rigorous journalism and deep sector expertise, we provide leaders, practitioners and policymakers with the information they need to make better decisions.

Our reporting is independent, trusted and focused on impact. We cover the full breadth of the sector, from policy and funding to leadership, teaching, accountability and reform. We go beyond headlines to explain what developments mean in practice, holding decision-makers to account while giving a voice to those working on the ground.

FE Week is part of EducationScape, an organisation dedicated to supporting and connecting the education and skills sector through journalism, events and professional development. Alongside Schools Week, our sister publication, we reach tens of thousands of readers every week across digital, social and live events.

Our audience includes college leaders, training providers, policymakers, employers and sector organisations. Whether you are shaping national policy or delivering training locally, our aim is to provide journalism that is useful, relevant and trusted.

We believe high-quality journalism is essential to a strong education system. That means asking difficult questions, highlighting best practice, and creating space for informed debate.

FE Week is more than a news outlet. It is part of the infrastructure of the sector.
