The Workplace Forum lecture, by Andrew Harrison, explored the impact of educational transformation on the university and school estate, the workplace and the community. A response was given by Gordon Davies.

Education at every level in the UK is undergoing radical transformation. Universities are responding to changing demographics and economic pressures and the impact of technology on learning and teaching, further education’s role in skills development and preparing young people for the workplace is expanding through the widening participation agenda and schools are being radically transformed through the ‘Building Schools for the Future’ and the Scottish Schools PPP programmes.
