LSC Strategy to 2010 From Here to Sustainability • Vision The learning and skills sector will proactively commit and contribute to sustainable development through: • its management of resources • the learning opportunities it delivers • its engagement with communities and business
LSC Strategy to 2010 From Here to Sustainability • Progress Report • Recognise the contribution of mainstream work • Significant progress has been made in some areas but not in others • Measures of progress need clarifying • Changing context • Gaps in the strategy
A new vision or more of the same? • Management of resources • Learning opportunities • Engagement with communities and business • PLUS • Leadership
Whose vision is it anyway? • Provider organisations in the sector • Learning and Skills Improvement Service • Ofsted • DIUS/DCSF/Local Authorities • Most importantly, individual providers: • “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever does” • Margaret Mead
