LSIS-commissioned report highlights a more ‘socially productive’ further education sector.
The further education and skills sector can and should play a greater role in generating jobs and setting up businesses, a major new report suggests.
The report, The Further Education and Skills Sector in 2020: A Social Productivity Approach, is published by the 2020 Public Sector Hub at the RSA and features interviews with over 30 stakeholders.
It was commissioned by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), the improvement body for the sector, to develop independent thinking on possible futures for further education and skills.
Dame Ruth Silver, DBE, Chair of the LSIS Board and Council, said: “LSIS commissioned this work in order to provide the further education and skills sector an independent perspective on possible futures, building on the Hub’s pioneering thinking on public services. As the Coalition devolves responsibility away from Whitehall and empowers service providers and citizens, the report challenges the sector to shape and create a radical future. We hope the report will stimulate discussion and empower the sector to determine the future it desires.”
The RSA’s 2020 Public Services Hub is a research and policy development hub created from the legacy of the 2020 Public Services Trust. It specializes in developing practice-based research on social productivity in public services, and is based at the RSA.
