Representing EAUC Members - can our new Ministers deliver future-fit education and skills?

21st July 2014

The dust is now settling on the recent Cabinet reshuffle. Representing 240 UK universities and colleges, the EAUC wanted to congratulate certain Ministers on their new posts so we've written to Nick Boles, Minister of State for Business and Education and Greg Clark, Universities Minister to do exactly that, but not just that.

We wanted to acknowledge the fact that they arrive at an exciting time of change and opportunity. 

However, it's also vital that they recognise the social, economic and environmental value tertiary education can make to driving sustainable regeneration. By educating more sustainability literate citizens we can step-up to the complex interdisciplinary problems of resource depletion, population growth, inequality and a changing climate to name a few.

We've requested to meet with Mr Clark and Mr Boles to explore how BIS can empower and facilitate UK universities and colleges to deliver the future-fit education and skills our people and planet desperately need.
