Policy to implementation – Context
Since the 2010 Coalition, there has been a major shift in public policy which has both directly affected FE directly or indirectly particularly when set against the backdrop of local challenges
Local:
Population challenges and
competition / new entrants
Deprivation and low
attainment challenges
Economic challenges such
as: Higher level skills gap
Devolution and Economic
development
National:
Qualification Reform
Quality expectations
Reductions in funding
Reductions across the Public Sector
New policies around Economic
Development, Devolution and Mayors
Population trends – GM consolidated 2012 – 2020 (16-18 year olds)
• ‘Pop Group’ population data is used as the basis for future enrolment assumptions.
• Demographic data analysed by cohort (16,17 and 18 year olds) and by GM Borough
• Annual movements calculated between 2015 and 2020.
• Population trend across GM is for declining 16-18 numbers.
• After 2020 there is an upward trend in the population
• Different population trajectories across authorities

QUALITY
A consideration for policy makers
Change in policy is to be expected, however the
frequency and speed of change has been extensive
ABR: Larger colleges are able to
achieve financial sustainability
Resource change well and
insulate against future economic
challenges
Ofsted: Medium to large
colleges take longer to
implement change
The frequency and pace of
change impacts quality
