Members of the KWETB team who visited these partners, observed that, in all three locations, there was a clear sense of a coherent mission and values which was lived by both staff and students. The Finnish and English colleges were large establishments, which catered for 23,000 and 10,000 learners respectively, both dispersed across a number of sites. Partnership, teamwork and communications contributed to the realisation of strategic objectives and teachers and students clearly articulated the vision of all three education institutions.
