Recent Policy drivers • Beecham – Making Connections • Customer/service user/learner focus • Webb Review • Efficiency and Innovation Programme • Front line Services review • Thomas Review of the Structure of Education Services
The ‘why’ in Education and Training: Transformation • The policy challenges all schools, colleges, universities and work-based training providers to set aside ...., institutional arrangements and plan provision collectively ........ This would provide more and better learning opportunities for all young people and adults. • In Wales, the evidence shows that no one specific collaboration or reconfiguration model could deliver the transformation of post-16 education and training provision. Consequently, the policy is not prescriptive in its approach to change. It calls upon providers of post-16 education to form partnerships across geographic areas or skill sectors and develop local/regional solutions based on evidence of need.
