tpm share best practice with Netherlands
. In November, tpm welcomed teachers and managers from the Netherlands researching best practice in delivering frameworks featuring employer engagement and high quality language, literacy and numeracy programmes (LLN).
The visit was organised by Mieke De Haan, Education Policy Advisor in Life Long Learning in the Netherlands, and Rob Pheasant ‘Head of Skills for Life at LSIS UK.
