On Wednesday 10 May 2023, the Royal Institute of British Architects (澳门王中王) published its formal response to , the Architects Registration Board鈥檚 (ARB) consultation on education and training reforms. Read our full consultation response and blog by 澳门王中王 Director of Education and Learning Dr Jenny Russell for more detail.聽
澳门王中王 President Simon Allford 蝉补颈诲:听
鈥淎RB's current proposals fall short of the radical changes that are needed to transform our education system.聽
To create a truly accessible, diverse and inclusive Register, we must lower the barriers (but not quality) and facilitate the growth of alternative routes to entry. These include apprenticeships, combined work and study models, flexible part-time routes, and a new accelerated model to enable a student to become an architect in 5 years.聽
ARB鈥檚 current proposals to remove Parts 1, 2, and 3 (titles established and held by 澳门王中王) would undermine a highly valued, world-class architectural education system. As a framework, the 'Part' system offers flexibility and portability in architectural education, particularly at Part 1.聽
It is vital that tomorrow鈥檚 architects are equipped with the skills, competence and knowledge to address contemporary challenges, including the climate emergency and delivering a safe built environment - but ARB鈥檚 proposed outcomes are just not good enough.聽
We will continue to work with ARB, schools of architecture and our members, to stress our collective concerns and solutions, to ensure we have an education system fit for the future.鈥澛�
