4. Ian Pryce

With debate raging over parity between academic and technical education, and with one million young people not in education, employment, or training (NEET), there is no one better to talk to than Ian Pryce who has been the leader of an FE college - Bedford College - for more than 20 years. Ian has strong views about the aspirations of young people, why parity of esteem can't be mandated, and why too often we compare high-end academic qualifications with low-level vocational qualifications and are then surprised there is a difference.
