How will HEFCE monitor the implementation of the guidance?
We do not propose to review Aimhigher monitoring arrangements for 2006-07 at this stage. It may be helpful to do this later, particularly because partnerships and higher education (HE) providers record and process data in different ways. At this stage we wish to emphasise the importance of continuous improvement, and to underline the need for data collection and analysis that shows whether the key target group has been successfully involved. Aimhigher partnerships will need to think about this in the returns they make, and given the way Aimhigher and HE outreach are complementary, we would expect HE providers to be doing this too (paragraph 62).
