THE College, under new Principal John Smith, has a new management structure which aims to provide a more efficient and effective service for students, staff and the area it serves. Deputy Principal is Nancy Reid who has guided the College through many of the changes that took further education colleges out of local authority control and which gave them their own budgets to manage. The College, under
the new structure, has brought together different departments under two faculties:
the Faculty of Arts, headed by Assistant
Principal David Green, formerly head
of General Education; and the Faculty of
Business and Technology, headed by Burnley-educated Eileen Baron, previously head of Construction and Engineering.
Julian Clissold is Assistant Principal Student Services, with
greatly extended responsibilities.
As a result of the
changes, two new directors took up their posts last month and will oversee personnel and

Commitment to quality
education WHY should students come to Burnley College? “They should come
here as, right from the
top, there is a commitment to high quality education and service with back-up from some of the best qualified and expert staff I have experienced in a lifetime’s work in education,” says Principal Mr John Smith. “They should come
here as we have a commitment to
investing in the
buildings and equipment to make sure students have the right tools and right facilities to achieve their goals.
“They should come
here because we are dedicated to helping each student achieve his or her maximum. “ At the end of the
day, that’s what a College is all about.”
Taking
the lead A REGULAR hi-tech link with Sweden is
in the pipeline for the School of
Furniture — and it may well lead to a wider, European-based influence for study. The miracles of tele-conferencing
have already seen an introductory link with the Scandinavian country. College experts
have been describing workshop skils and the history of English furniture with the Swedes who, in the return link, will be telling their Burnley counterparts about the influence of Scandinavian and Swedish designs. Eventually staff and
student exchanges could be part of the Euro-view of the industry at the College.
