What are the main principles and changes to the 2008/09 Learner Responsive success rate methodology?
Changes to ensure that the 2008/09 methodology reflects demand-led funding: • For the 2008/09 academic year only within the 2008/09 success rate methodology, remove the use of the Census reference date (1st November) to determine the inclusion/ exclusion of learners and replace with the appropriate length of time that a learner needs to be enrolled on a learning aim to receive funding (6 weeks/ 2 weeks, depending on course length). • Report on the Learner Responsive provision as it is defined i.e. without the inclusion of FE NVQs, which have transferred to Employer Responsive provision. • Exclusion of Entry to Employment (E2E) provision (which becomes part of Learner Responsive from 2008/09) as E2E is not a programme aimed at delivering whole qualifications. Changes to ensure that success rates are more focussed on LSC-funded provision (simplification of the process) and that there is more comparability between Learner Responsive and Employer Responsive success rates: • Include LSC-fun
