We want your views on proposed changes to performance measures for school sixth forms and further education colleges.
Most young people with learning difficulties can have their needs met within a mainstream college, including those with complex needs. In some cases access to a specialist provider is needed. The Welsh Government has published revised guidance setting out its expectations for securing post-16 provision for young people with learning difficulties.
The
Cabinet Secretary for Education recently established a task and finish group to
review the activities of the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol. As part of its work
the group will consider whether the Coleg’s remit should extend to the post-16
sector and invites you to present evidence to assist them
in their deliberations.
