FE commissioner’s report failing colleges

“The timing of publication for each summary will be determined on a case by case basis and the first report is due to be published at the end of this month.” Dr Collins, who can call for college leaders to be stripped of powers and even advise the Skills Minister to shut a college down, took up the newly-created post in December, but his reports and recommendations have been largely kept under wraps.
