Roundtable
‘Transforming Education and
Training Provision in Wales’
‘Transforming Education and Training
Provision in Wales’ was released on

Training Provision in Wales’

The aim is to establish a post-16 education and training system that will better cater for the
needs of all learners and demands of employers;
The policy relates to post-16 provision, but we would be open to discussions with those
local authorities who wish to develop proposals to link pre- and post-16 transformation;
Policy implementation is not through a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Consequently, the
framework that is non-prescriptive and this allows stakeholders to put forward their own
plans to make significant changes to post-16 provision, based on local needs and
demands. For this reason the Webb consortium model is not universally being universally
prescribed;
The document is not a consultation document; consultation was provided via the StWfW
earlier in the year;
Response to the policy is not optional; it requires all providers and provider managers to
support the transformation policy by planning and implementing change to secure
significant improvements for all learners;
Timelines are ambitious (Strategic Outline Programmes are required by January 2009)
partly in response to many stakeholders already setting themselves ambitious plans to
reshape post-16 learning delivery; and partly because the status quo will not deliver the
skills required for life in the 21st Century; and
DCELLS is taking forward a number of activities to support providers and provider managers
in successfully responding to the policy. This involves provider and provider manager
seminars in October and one-to-one meetings with local strategic leaders to discuss
proposals, issues and concerns.

National Comparators for Further Education
and Work Based Learning, 2006/07
The key points from the latest release are:
• Overall success rates were 60% in FE and 65% in WBL.
• Just under 50% of learners leaving Modern Apprenticeship (MA) and
Foundation Modern Apprenticeship (FMA) programmes in 2006/07
achieved their full apprenticeship framework. FMA success rates
were consistently higher than those for MAs, with the majority of
subject areas exceeding the current Welsh Assembly Government
contractual requirement of 50% framework success.
• There was considerable variation in outcomes across subject areas.
In FE learning activity success rates varied from 38% to 76%, while
in WBL analysis of the key measure of framework success shows
outcomes as low as 26% and as high as 62%.

Benchmarking
The key benefits that underpin the benchmarking project include:
•
The provision of a web based self assessment tool that facilitates diagnostic
analysis and supports decision-making for providers.
•
A tool which enables providers to learn from best practice to enhance their
own processes and drive improvements in quality and value for money
thereby contributing to a culture of self-improvement amongst providers.
•
A tool which enables providers to make comparisons both within and
outside of Wales establishing an understanding of the relationship between
cost and quality in each sector.
•
The opportunity to enhance the culture of collaboration between colleges,
schools and work based learning providers. This will strengthen the learning
network, build capacity and optimise internal resource allocation.

National Occupational Standards
LLUK
Development of the UK National
Occupational Standards in Delivery,
building on the work which led to the
production of the Professional Standards
for Tutors, teachers & Trainers in Wales.
Objectives
• To develop Learning Delivery National Occupational
Standards (LDNOS)
• Use LDNOS to agree common ground across the UK
nations, which will enable the transfer of skills whilst
recognising key national differences through existing and
pending Professional Standards
• Produce a UK wide qualifications map indicating the
barriers to transferring skills across the nations

'Slash Training at Your Peril'
Warn Business Bosses - England Press Release
In an open letter published in national newspapers today (Thursday),
some of the UK's top business people including Sir Mike Rake,
Chairman of BT group and the UK Commission for Employment and
Skills, Sir Stuart Rose, Chairman of Marks & Spencer and Business in
the Community, Mervyn Davies, Chairman of Standard Chartered plc
and Richard Lambert, Director General of the CBI, together with
Brendan Barber, General Secretary of the TUC, urge employers to
sustain or even increase their investment in training, saying: "Now is
precisely the time to keep investing in the skills and talents of our
people. It is the people we employ who will get us through. When
markets are shrinking and order books falling, it is their commitment,
productivity and ability to add value that will keep us
competitive. Investing now in building new skills will put us in the
strongest position as the economy recovers.“
