We’re privileged that David Meakin served as our Chairman of Governors and shared his expertise with us.At a recent meeting, David Meakin, recently retired Chair of Governors at Burnley College, gave our members a real insight into the size and complexity of this major educational institution. The college’s motto - ‘Building Futures, Changing Lives’ – emphasises that each of the 9,000 students will receive high quality education and training to provide them with real-world skills. Courses include ‘A’ levels, apprenticeships, first or post-graduate degrees, professional courses, and many more.
Mr Meakin explained how the college has to earn its own revenues, and with annual turnover of around £44 million, this is no easy matter. Planning for the future by keeping abreast of new technology, and indeed by researching into some new technologies, is key to attracting students, particularly from industry. The result of all of these efforts is that the college is Number 1 in England for age 18-19 achievement levels, according to the latest official Government statistics, a position that it has achieved each year since 2018.
