Structure and History

KAFEC was formally established in 1994 in recognition of the need for K&M colleges to work collaboratively and in partnership to improve the funding, quality and curriculum offer for potential and existing learners in Kent and Medway.

Surprisingly it is a virtually unique partnership with very few similar models nationally. The benefits of partnership are very real and of great advantage to the people and businesses across the county.

There are a number of KAFEC network groups, all overseen by the KAFEC Principals' Group, which meets six times each year to discuss and carry forward strategic issues regarding education and training.

The KAFEC Principals' Group

KAFEC employs a full-time Director of Operations:

Hayley Mills acts as Executive Officer to the groups, represents KAFEC on various committees and co-ordinates KAFEC external activities and manages partnership projects.
