ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Welcome back to Inside Your Ed in 2024 and happy New Year to all our listeners. 

Speaking of things that are new, this episode is all about the new institutions - often called Challenger institutions – that have been appearing in England’s Higher Education (or HE) sector in recent years. 

So what is a challenger institution? What obstacles have these new HE providers faced? Have the challenger institutions been able to innovate in a way that other providers cannot? And what does the future hold for these small new institutions when the politics and funding of HE remain so uncertain? 

Our guests today are Kat Emms, a senior researcher at the Edge Foundation, an education charity, and James Newby, president and chief executive of the New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering (or NMITE, for short) based in Hereford.
