This week Shane is joined by three guests, to cover three particularly interesting topics: Ed Reza Schwitzer, former DfE civil servant, Sue Pember, adult education guru, and Catherine Sezen at the Association of Colleges.

How can the sector drive up adult participation in further education?

And why did Ofsted get into a row with a mayoral combined authority?
