Benchmarking data for Access to HE
From time to time, QAA is approached by providers and others with queries about how data can be used for setting internal targets or benchmarking for Access to HE provision. The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) has provided the following statement on this matter.
'The purpose of the Benchmarking Data is that it:
- allows colleges to assess their performance and assists their planning of action to improve the success, retention and achievement rates of their students
- supports colleges in the process of setting targets as part of their 3 year development plans set out in Success for All, and
- informs the process of performance review by Local Learning and Skills Councils.
The data is published to aid providers and not as a regulatory requirement.'
