Raising expectations for adult learners
23 Jul 2009
A revised framework for the inspection of the further education and skills sector was launched today by Ofsted.
The framework continues to place a strong focus on learners’ achievements and includes more emphasis on the capacity of providers to make and sustain improvements, so raising expectations for all learners. Inspectors will explore how well organisation leaders and managers promote high ambitions amongst their learners and staff, while arrangements to safeguard learners and promote equality and diversity will receive closer scrutiny.
