Original consultation
Consultation description
This consultation sets out proposals for developing and using a new set of outcome based measures of performance for publicly funded post-19 education and skills, excluding higher education.
These measures focus on 3 areas:
- learner destinations (into employment or further learning)
- progression within learning
- earnings
They will be used alongside existing measures of achievement to inform learner and employer choice, and ultimately as part of government鈥檚 performance management of the post-19 education and skills sector.
The first set of experimental data on these measures at provider level is published alongside this consultation.
