Final day at #EQAF! Student partnership has been a key theme across the conference, so it’s great to hear from Scottish friends on the ways in which they’ve embedded student partnership in sectoral policy and practice @sparqs_scotland @ScotFundCouncil

We’re delighted SFC’s @JamesDunphy is contributing to #ETConf22 this afternoon. It’s a fantastic programme over the 2 days and great that Scotland’s colleges and universities are both so well represented at the event.

@sparqs_Megan has been presenting about the focus of the Student Led Project at #ETConf22 today.
"If you're doing an exam, equality is giving everyone the same amount of time to do the exam. Equity is providing support for students with additional learning needs." Megan Brown, Sparqs @sparqs_Megan @sparqs_scotland #ETConf22

I love the reference Prof Ruth Whittaker is making to the learner being able to succeed in the programme of learning, the use of learning outcomes using the #SCQF is an enabler, guidance is also crucial #RPL #ETConf22 👏👏

Some brilliant examples of student engagement projects at @LTA_HWU, many of which have been suggested by the students themselves. #ETConf22 @HeriotWattUni
