NE to become a stand-alone RSC region in shake-up
As part of a wider internal overhaul, dubbed “Future DfE”, the North East will become its own RSC region, breaking away from the North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, as eight RSC regions will become nine.
A DfE spokesperson said: “These changes reorganise us to be a department that operates better locally by being aligned to the nine regions used elsewhere in government.”
It will also mean the department is “organised in a way that is clear and makes sense to stakeholders” and “help us deliver the department’s priorities on skills, schools and families”.
