Mission accepted: the role of colleges across the government’s five missions
The new government has committed to being mission led; this formed a central theme across their 2024 election manifesto and has been reaffirmed following their election win. At the heart of this approach are five key missions which operate as guiding stars to inform policy making and funding decisions.
金刚弹珠赛道app Student Engagement Charter
