Director of Strategic Projects / Head of School Modernisation | The School Modernisation Division of Carmarthenshire County Council forms part of the Education and Children's Services Department. In March 2001, the Authority acknowledged the significant inadequacies relating to its buildings and sites and approved its Planning School Places Strategy. This concluded "the Authority must radically review its current position and reassert the locations, size, and nature of the community schools it determines as required in the longer term". It therefore developed an approved Modernising Education Provision (MEP) strategy and, as a result, a whole county review of its schools was undertaken with a draft implementation plan to meet its vision for the future of education in the county. The main purpose of the Division is to transform the network of nursery, primary and secondary schools serving the county into a strategically and operationally effective resource that meets current and future need for a school based and community focused education, by developing and improving buildings, infrastructure and spaces that are appropriately located, designed, constructed or adapted to foster the sustainable development of the people and communities of Carmarthenshire.
