Title: HAMPSHIRE AND ISLE OF WIGHT LEARNING AND SKILLS COUNCIL
REVIEW OF POST 14 EDUCATION AND TRAINING ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT
PORTFOLIO HOLDER - EDUCATION AND LIFE LONG LEARNING
In early October 2001 the Local Learning and Skills Council for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight (LLSC) established a Task Group under the chairmanship of Professor Sir William Taylor to formulate recommendations for a collaborative and integrated approach for planning and resourcing Post 14 education and training on the Isle of Wight, and to set out recommendations for consideration by the LLSC and the Local Education Authority (LEA). To inform and assist the work of the task group the LLSC also commissioned the international consultancy group KPMG to undertake a review and assessment of the Isle of Wight’s Post 14 educational and training needs.
Professor Sir William Taylor and Mr Neal Bawden (Project Manager KPMG) presented their reports to the Select Committee for Education Community Development and Lifelong Learning, copies of which were circulated to all Council members. The reports were considered by the LLSC at their full Council Meeting on 23 January 2002. A copy has also been placed in the Members Room.
The reports were considered and the Select Committee noted that the Strategic Director Of Education and Community Development would institute formative and formal consultation with schools and other bodies.
RECOMMENDATION That the Executive approve the establishment of a Tertiary Strategy Group in partnership with the Local Learning and Skills Council as contained in the report of the Isle of Wight Fourteen-Plus Task Group and consideration be given to increasing its membership by the appointment of one additional member nominated by Heads of the Island High Schools from among their number and one additional member nominated by the lay governors of the Island High Schools from among their number. |
