Further Education in England: transforming lives and communities Interim report

This research aims to understand and provide evidence of how the further education (FE) sector is vital in transforming lives and communities in 21st century Britain. The study provided learners, teachers, parents and employers with the opportunity to tell their stories, linking the distinctness of FE to the impact it has on individuals, society and the economy, and strongly drawing out the role of the teacher in making a difference to quality teaching and learning. The research data provided a rich source of evidence for the empowering and inclusive work undertaken in FE for sector representatives and policy makers to draw upon. This report presents some of the interim findings from the research project
