Strategic Developments:

• A report has been published comparing policies, participation and inequalities across UK post-16 education and training landscapes.
• There has been a very high level of policy churn experienced within UK E&T and this has been detrimental.

• Fewer apprenticeships are taken by young people in England and Wales than in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
• Wales has the highest share of pupils ‘Not in Education, Employment or Training’ (NEET).
• Young people are much more likely to attend schools rather than colleges in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
• Higher Education participation among students from lower socio-economic backgrounds is highest in England. In England, Wales and Scotland there has been an increasing share of higher education enrolments from students from the most deprived areas.
• Across all four nations, female school leavers are more likely to progress to Higher Education. 
• The report recommends that:
• More active and urgent action is required in Wales.
• A greater policy focus on inequalities is needed.
• A new stable policy settlement is needed.
• Data and statistics should be better, more comparable and more focused on inequalities.
• CTER Statement of Priorities.
• This is a major milestone in establishing the new organisation and is another step towards a new approach to tertiary education and research in Wales.  Now that the commission has made this mandate, it provides an insight into how we shape our strategic plan going forward.
• Strategic Priorities:
• Develop a tertiary system that prepares learners for a dynamic and changing economy where all can acquire the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in life and work.
• Maintain and enhance the quality of the tertiary system, continue and intensify work on widening participation and take steps to ensure a more equitable and excellent system for all.
• Putting the learner at the heart of the system by focusing on the experience of learners in the tertiary system and their wellbeing.
• Establish the Commission for Tertiary Education and Research as a highly effective organisation providing stability and leadership during this time of transition.
• Changes in the school year.
• Changes to the school year are being proposed by the Welsh Government with various options highlighted.
• Impact on GCSE/A-Level exam and results dates, parents and teachers were briefly discussed.
• New Campus Development – Communication Plan
• A communication plan has been developed to run parallel with the development of our new campus as it nears sign off. It will continue over the next four years.
• Contacting Key Stakeholders and Influencers has been a priority.
• Contacting Key Stakeholders and Influencers
• Principal talks across the whole institution. - This talk covered the Strategic Development of the Estate, including the new build at the Carmarthen site and the closure of other campuses to achieve this.

• The VC highlighted that UWTSD and CSG are educational establishments and are responsible to ensure they are financially sustainable and offer people the best educational opportunities. The VC highlighted the excellent stakeholder consultation that the CEO has undertaken which was not obligatory but had been undertaken respectfully and sensitively to the situation.
• Ammanford Campus students travel from all over Carmarthenshire and a small proportion of students come from Ammanford and the Amman Valley with the College supporting all of Carmarthenshire.
• Some turbulence may have come from some misinterpretation, and it was AGREED that the VC, CEO and Chairs of both UWTSD and CSG would meet with Adam Price MS to discuss this development.
• Beacon Award – Finalist (Highly Commended)
• Our Be Ambitious Team were delighted to be a finalist for this prestigious UK Award in Careers and Enterprise.

24/02/2.2

Financial Performance 23/24

• Reforecast 1 (as at Period 4)

The Board RECEIVED and CONSIDERED the financial performance report for 2023/2024.  It was NOTED:

• All figures are pre-FRS 102 “non-cash “pension costs.
• There is no major significant changes to the reforecast position although it has gone a little adverse.
• For the FE Group: The current reforecast (prepared as at November 23 – period 4) shows a deterioration against the original budget of £(148)k: Reforecast deficit of £(98)k vs a surplus of  £50k.  
• For Coleg Sir Gâr: The current reforecast shows a reduction of £(148)k, with a predicted loss of £(101)k vs a surplus of £47k. 
• For Coleg Ceredigion: No change overall to the budgeted position: a surplus of £3k.  
• Cash balances forecast analysis showed cash at £16,953k versus a forecast of £15,606k – an improvement of £1,347k.  Following adjustments, the true operating cash change is figure is a deterioration of £(140)k
• The main drivers of these figures:
• PLA shows a reforecast position of £884k against a budgeted position of £1,717k – a reduction of £(883)k.
• BWBL shows a reforecast position of £4,601k against a budgeted position of £5,232k – a reduction of £(631)k.  Contract value in line with last year at £5.2m; but under delivery will result in reduction in funds.
• Bank interest rates are currently holding and the reforecast position of £500k against a budgeted position of £250k – an improvement of £250k. 
• Shared Prosperity Funding shows a reforecast position of £275k against a budgeted position of £175k – an improvement of £100k.
• HE Provision of £229k and ESF Provision of £219k being released have been taken into account within the reforecast.
• Summer estate maintenance works costs show a reforecast position of £500k against a budgeted position of £300k – an increase of £200k.  
• Overall around £1m knocked out from two major income streams which has been offset by provisions and interest.
• Backlog Maintenance Funding had been confirmed at £130k which was lower than hoped but would help improve the budget position.

A question was raised asking if the pay rises were incorporated.  It was NOTED that all pay rises have been incorporated into the figures.

The Board APPROVED the Reforecast 1 (as at Period 4).

24/02/2.3

Financial year 24/25

• (i) Allocations: WG
• (ii) High Level position review - (budget due at next meeting)

The Board RECEIVED and CONSIDERED the Further Education Allocations from Welsh Government for 2024/2025.  It was NOTED:

• FE recurrent income is the main college income stream accounting for over 50% of total income and hence a major driver of the college’s financial health.
• This allocation has a potential major impact on the college budget for 2024/2025.
• Coleg Sir Gâr & Coleg Ceredigion have fared well due to strong performance on recruitment and utilisation of Part Time FE. A number of colleges face significant cuts.
• Total allocation for 2024/2024 is £26,824k.  2022/2023 total allocation was £25,710k showing a variation of £1,114k (4.33%).  This was the highest % variation of all HE Colleges within Wales.
• The following then needs to be taken into account:
• A 3.5% uplift from Welsh Government has been included on the assumption that a 3.5% pay rise will be applicable next year.  This is a cost of £997k.
• PLA funding has been wrapped up into part time FE funding resulting in a reduction of £177k.
• Transition funding has not been included in the WG figures which is a reduction of £407k to the College.
• Overall this results in a reduction of £467k.
• This is a reduction in income, however in context when compared to the FE sector this is a strong allocation position.
• The Board NOTED the importance of the redundancy programme that the College undertook last year which has helped enormously.

The Board RECEIVED and CONSIDERED the high-level position review for 2024/2025 in advance of the budget.  It was NOTED:

• This looked at the potential budget position for 24/25 given the known factors that will have an impact.  A very high level potential worst-case scenario has been pulled together.
• A lot more work needs to be undertaken to get to a more robust potential position however the data does provide a direction of travel in that there is no doubt that 2024/2025 will be challenging.
• Strong possibility that we may be in a “negative” budget situation for next year in the region of £(1.1)m.
• Main drivers will be the FE settlement £(500)k reduction, shared prosperity surplus £(275)k reduction, WBL could potentially reduce further, estimated £(500)k reduction.
• Figures suggest a cash depletion of £(720)k and with WBL could reduce to a position of £15,674k.
• The teachers pension increase of 5% is not included with the FE sector assuming that this will be funded by Welsh Government.

The College has significant cash reserves and the worst-case scenario is sustainable for one year, however if the following year looks similar then the College may need to consider steps.

A question was raised asking if there is any other pots or savings that can be made.  It was NOTED that there is not any low hanging fruit for cost saving.  Transport for students provided by the College is big ticket item that is important for the areas the College serves, however the board were made aware that the LEA in Carmarthenshire are looking at a number of cost cutting exercises, one being post-16 transport.  The College would wait and see how this develops.

24/02/2.4

The development of VCSEs in pre-16 education

• Presentation

The Board RECEIVED a presentation on the changes and development of VCSE’s in Pre-16 Education.  It was NOTED:

• The Curriculum for Wales became mandatory for Years 7 and 8 from September 2023.
• 2 key decisions made by Qualifications Wales:
• The GCSE brand would be maintained.
• A suite of bilingual qualifications in work-related subjects which will be called VCSEs (Vocational Certificate of Secondary Education) at Level 1/Level 2 and Foundation at Entry Level /Level 1.
• A timeline showed that these would start to be taught in September 2027.
• The FE Sector had raised a number of concerns, some of which have been responded to by QW which were shown to the Board.
• FE concern:  Lack of specialist resources and specialist teachers in schools

QW response:  We will require that the qualifications are teachable by non-specialists and with limited resources. The qualifications are intended to provide an insight into industry areas and the opportunity for some practical activities to engage those learners who may prefer more practical learning and assessment.  

• FE concern: Poor teaching putting learners off vocational courses post-16

QW response: We will require awarding bodies to produce teacher guidance and supporting resources, to support a rich learning experience.  This will include training sessions. The new qualifications will be publicised well in advance to allow schools to plan resources.  The specifications will be available 12 months in advance of first teaching.

• FE concern:  Dislike for the title (pre-vocational) and the balance of qualifications available at the different levels - perpetuating the ‘inequality’ between academic and vocational qualifications.

QW response: The new qualifications will be called VCSEs (Vocational Certificate of Secondary Education) at level 1/2 and Foundation at entry level/level 1.  QW believe that this will bring increased visual parity with GCSEs.

• Parity of esteem between academic and vocational qualifications is an ongoing battle.  There is a disparity between the number of GCSE’s and VCSE’s offered:
• More Able Learners - 28 GCSE’s and 13 VCSE’s.
• Less Able Learners – 8 GCSE’s and 15 VCSE’s.
• FE concerns: Need for larger qualifications in FE-based 14-16 programmes.

QW response:  We will continue to allow awarding bodies to apply for Designation for14-16 learners, of those qualifications that are larger than VCSEs and that require specialist teaching and/or resources such as, for example, those used in FE colleges on Junior Apprenticeships. 

• FE concerns:  Overlap with post-16 content.

QW response:  We will explicitly require awarding bodies to liaise with representatives from further education colleges to ensure that the VCSEs provide appropriate progression to subsequent post-16 study, typically, but not always, at level 2.

• Grading will be difference between GCSE’s and VCSE’s with GCES A*-E and VCSE’s Pass, Merit or Distinction.
• The College’s current schools provision is 935 pupils (14 and 15 year olds) accessing College premises weekly.
• CSG/CC considerations include:
• It is likely that the larger qualifications used for Junior Apprenticeships will remain accessible - do we need to re-shape our school offer?
• Can VCSEs delivered in schools present learners with a really positive rather than negative experience and encourage them to progress into VET - what is our role in this?
• If 900 school pupils are no longer crossing the CSG/CC threshold on a weekly basis how do we become the natural next progression and the pupils FE college of choice?
• How can we influence the advice and guidance given to school pupils regarding next steps?
• There was concern raised by the Board asking if schools would be able to cope in providing these qualifications.
• The Board questioned if employers understand that this change is taking place and how these will be aligned to employer requirements.

24/02/2.5

Estates Strategy & Development

• (i) MIM update
• (ii) WG Capital Programme - 9-year rolling: Briefing document

-  Possible capital requests

• (iii) Land disposal @ PIB update
• (iv) Subsidence @ Cardigan - Summary findings

The Board RECEIVED and CONSIDERED the Estate Strategy and Development.  It was NOTED:

Mutual Investment Model (MIM)

• The amended Strategic Outline Case (SOC) was submitted on the 22nd February 2024.
• The SOC document will be reviewed by the Welsh Government Business Scrutiny Group on the 14th of March, then to the Education Investment Panel on the 18th of April, and finally the Minister of Education on the 3rd of May.
• NPR (New Project Request) to be issued to WEPCO by the 31st of May 2024.
• Subject to Welsh Government approval of the new SOC submission and WEPCO’s acceptance of the NPR, then the Stage 1 review will commence.

WG 9 Year Rolling Programme – Capital Funding

• WG Sustainable Communities for Learning are inviting submissions for the next round of Capital Funding (buildings only). There has been a change in approach in that the applications now cover a period of 9 years, split into 3 phases of 1 to 3, 4 to 6 & 7 to 9 years.
• The funding is separate to MIM and is based on a 65/35 contribution rate i.e. the college pays 35% of the total with the balance being covered via the WG grant.
• The college has pulled together a number of projects to be included in the submission.  One key aspect of the funding criteria is to improve the building condition from a B to a B or even A. Given this (most CC sites are above C), and due to the ongoing discussions into wider county wide initiatives at the Ceredigion sites, the programme focuses on Coleg Sir Gâr Graig & Gelli Aur sites.
• The total cost of the projects identified is £18m with the cost to the college around £6.3m.

Local Development Plan (LDP)

• The College is continuing to work with the Council in relation to the LDP preparation stage.  Information was formally submitted during mid-January 2024, outlining viability details based on the draft Masterplan.
• A Statement of Common Ground (SoCG) has been agreed between both parties and it is expected that the Council will submit the Draft LDP to the Welsh Government by April 2024. 

Land Disposal and marketing of the Pibwrlwyd Site

• The marketing of the wider site opportunity undertaken by Savills concluded on the 31st January 2024.
• Expressions of interest were received and a number of developers, with discussions and site visits having been undertaken.
• 8 submissions have been received.
• This is considered a very positive response from the market and the scale and prominence of the interested parties reflect the marketability of the site in attracting key developers to Carmarthen, when historically the further west they go is Swansea.
• Following the full review of the submissions, it has been decided that all the submissions are invited in to present their proposals to the project team consisting of College, University and Savills representatives.  This will take place early March 2024.
• Once identified, the successful site promoter will commence a review of the site proposal to feed into the ongoing LDP process and Aldi site disposal.  

Aldi Sale

• Work is progressing on the provision to the Council of further information to inform their Pre- Planning Application. 

Cardigan Subsidence

• A report has been received which is very detailed and technical in nature. A series of recommendations in terms of potential solutions have been tabled, but further discussion is needed with the contractor to convert the findings to “laymen’s terms”, highlighting the pros & cons of each option and to ascertain and assign potential costings. 

24/02/2.6

Extension of Governor Term - Huw Davies

The Board CONSIDERED the extension to the Governor Term of Tenure for Huw Davies for a period of one additional year.  It was NOTED:

• Huw Davies is the Chair of the Resources, Resilience and Partnerships Committee and due to finish his Governor term at the end of the current academic year.
• Huw Davies is the only practising financial expert on the Board and within the last two governor recruitment drives these skills have not been a skill set within the applicants.
• There was no natural Chair of the Resources, Resilience and Partnerships Committee and the Search and Governance Committee recommended that Huw Davies stay on for another academic year to give the College more time to recruit this skill set, ensuring that there is no gap in financial skills which are extremely important with the current economic climate.  
• The articles of association include dispensation for an extension to a Governor’s term if required.
• The Board thanked Huw for all his work in the RRP Committee and his kind offer to continue.

The Board APPROVED the extension to the Governor term of office for one year for Huw Davies.

24/02/2.7

24/02/2.9

• The financial position of the sector is more difficult than a lot of people perceive.
• The current funding model of Higher Education is unsustainable.
• Fees of £9250 have not increased in a number of years and with inflation and costs this is now equivalent to around £5600.
• A different approach is required on how HE manages its assets.
