Arrangements were to be made for a hearing with the Chief Minister in September or October in order that the Panel might receive an update of the position. The Panel considered "R61/2014, Skills for Success" and noted that the document connected with numerous areas of work the Panel intended to undertake in relation to tertiary education, particularly in the area of vocational education. | MR |
