Does learner-level targeting (see paragraphs 43-49) apply equally to learners in colleges as well as schools?
Yes. Just as in schools, further education (FE) lecturers and other college staff are likely to be best placed to make judgements about those most likely to derive the greatest benefit from the provision on offer, provided that they understand the importance of widening participation and the criteria which need to be applied. FE colleges will have data relating to Education Maintenance Allowances which they can use as one of the criteria to identify potential beneficiaries in the first instance.
