  • EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES a Report on School-College Partnership Programmes in Scotland
    EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES A report on school-college partnership programmes in Scotland EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES Context for publication of this report This is a report by HMIE for the Scottish Further and Higher Education Funding Council (SFC). The 2004-08 Memorandum of Understanding between HMIE and SFC, and successive annual service level agreements under that memorandum commit the two organisations to cooperate fully to secure and promote the quality of education provision in Scotland’s colleges and to work in partnership to promote continuous quality improvement and enhancement across the college sector. HMIE’s work as part of this partnership is wide ranging and includes: • the completion of external reviews of colleges, publication of these review reports, and additional actions specified by SFC where it has concerns about the quality of provision in a college; • briefings for SFC on matters of strategic interest, and professional advice on other matters relating to educational provision in Scotland’s colleges; • delivery of quality enhancement activities for college staff as specified by SFC, for example activities relating to the dissemination of sector-leading and innovative practice identified in review reports; and • preparation of reports for SFC on the current position in relation to specified aspects of college provision. This report is one in the final category above. It has been prepared by HMIE as part of the 2007-08 service level agreement with SFC. Because of its relevance to schools and education authorities as well as colleges, it is being distributed much more widely than most other reports in the series. EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES | 3 FOREWORD We have called this report Expanding Opportunities because for many young people, involvement in school-college programmes aims to help them to do just that, by allowing them greater choice in the subjects they can undertake at school and by involving them in different approaches to learning.
