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’s 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.
