In December 2007 LLUK published the first Workforce Strategy for the Further Education sector 2007-2012, development of which we facilitated on behalf of the wider FE System in England. This first strategy for the workforce in the further education sector included four priorities for action. Priority 1 was ‘Understanding the nature of the workforce’ and comprised three themes: 1. Gathering robust data on the further education workforce 2. Using data to understand the further education workforce and improve future planning 3. Using data to understand workforce diversity and target actions. During the consultation and development phases of the Workforce The Workforce Strategy implementation plan was published in Strategy, it became apparent that this work was necessary, not only March 2008 and is available on the LLUK website (www.lluk.org). to assist workforce planning, but also to deliver realistic forecasting The plan captures the actions and milestones committed by key at national level to assist in informing policy development, national stakeholders and partners during 2008-09 to contribute towards investment and other types of support for the workforce.

  • Tracking the Entry of Vocational Learners Into Higher Education in a Rural Area of England
    Tracking the Entry of Vocational Learners into Higher Education in a Rural Area of England Authors: Donna Obrey and Colin Wood, Herefordshire and Worcestershire Lifelong Learning Network Abstract The research considers the entry of vocational learners into Higher Education in a predominantly rural area where a large proportion of Higher Education is provided through Further Education Colleges and through partnership arrangements with Higher Education Institutions. Based on the registrations of 11,927 students within 5 institutions and spanning 5 academic years, the research identifies a 41% increase in the numbers of Level 3 vocational learners progressing into Higher Education, but a slight decrease in the proportion of local students. Introduction Increased entry to Higher Education for students with vocational qualifications has been an aspiration of the widening participation and skills agendas of recent years. The creation of Lifelong Learning Networks (LLNs) in 2004 was intended to increase the numbers of vocational learners progressing into Higher Education, by stimulating curriculum development, advice and guidance and progression agreements. Whilst the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) monitors the success of LLNs in achieving these goals, it is more difficult to assess the impact within an area particularly where there are a number of providers. Thus the purpose of this research is to establish some baseline data and measure the impact of the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Lifelong Learning Network (HWLLN) over the five years of its operation. The context and timescale of the research is pertinent. The area is predominantly rural with low population densities, low average incomes and limited access to Higher Education.

    REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE Evesham College April 1997 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council has a legal duty to make sure further education in England is properly assessed. The FEFC’s inspectorate inspects and reports on each college of further education every four years. The inspectorate also assesses and reports nationally on the curriculum and gives advice to the FEFC’s quality assessment committee. College inspections are carried out in accordance with the framework and guidelines described in Council Circular 93/28. They involve full-time inspectors and registered part-time inspectors who have knowledge and experience in the work they inspect. Inspection teams normally include at least one member who does not work in education and a member of staff from the college being inspected.

During their inspection, inspectors assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Their assessments are set out in the reports. They also use a five-point grading scale to summarise the balance between strengths and weaknesses. The descriptors for the grades are: • grade 1 – provision which has many strengths and very few weaknesses • grade 2 – provision in which the strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses • grade 3 – provision with a balance of strengths and weaknesses • grade 4 – provision in which the weaknesses clearly outweigh the strengths • grade 5 – provision which has many weaknesses and very few strengths.
