Indicators for higher education in further education colleges

http://www.hefce.ac.uk/media/hefce/st/i/hefce80.gifA report presenting indicators for higher education in English further education colleges (FECs), including the first publication of employment indicators, has been published.
HEFCE’s analysis of widening participation, non-continuation and employment indicators shows that FECs continue to perform strongly in terms of widening participation. Key findings are as follows.

  • FECs are continuing to perform better than expected in the widening participation indicator, when compared with the sector-adjusted average for the sector which takes into account the mix of students at institutions.
  • As a sector, FECs performed better than expected in the non-continuation indicator for first degree students, with a non-continuation rate of 13.6 per cent compared with a sector-adjusted average of 13.9 per cent.
  • Among other undergraduate entrants at FECs, the non-continuation rate was slightly higher than expected at 21.0 per cent.
  • 83.6 per cent of full-time first degree qualifiers, and 92.7 per cent of full-time other undergraduate qualifiers, registered at FECs continued into work or further study.

What the tables show

  • The widening participation indicators show the proportion of full-time entrants aged under 21 years from neighbourhoods which have a low proportion of young people going in to higher education.
  • The non-continuation indicators show the proportion of students (given separately for young and mature students) who do not continue in to a second year of higher education.
  • The employment indicators show the proportion of qualifiers from an undergraduate course of HE in 2010-11 who continued into work or further study after 6 months. This proportion is provided separately for full-time students on first degree and other undergraduate programmes.

We intend to publish an update of this report in early 2014.

Économie sociale et entrepreneuriat social - Guide de l’Europe sociale

http://ec.europa.eu/social/BlobServlet?mode=displayPicture&photoId=7615Économie sociale et entrepreneuriat social - Guide de l’Europe sociale | Volume 4  (29/04/2013)
Le Guide de l’Europe sociale est une publication semestrielle destinée à fournir à un public intéressé mais pas nécessairement spécialisé un résumé succinct des politiques de l’Union européenne dans les domaines de l’emploi, des affaires sociales et de l’inclusion. Il illustre les questions et les défis clés, explique les actions politiques, décrit les instruments à l’échelle de l’UE et fournit des exemples des meilleures pratiques des États membres de l’UE. Il expose également des points de vue du Parlement européen et de la présidence du Conseil à propos du thème abordé. Le quatrième volume de cette série présente le monde vivant des organisations de l’économie sociale (telles que coopératives, associations, mutuelles et fondations) ainsi que le phénomène plus récent de l’entrepreneuriat social, c’est-à-dire les entreprises créées dans le but de poursuivre des objectifs davantage sociaux que financiers. Il illustre également les tendances orientées vers une plus grande responsabilité sociale des citoyens/consommateurs, des entreprises à but lucratif et des institutions financières. Enfin, ce volume passe en revue différents leviers sur lesquels s’appuient les politiques européennes et nationales pour soutenir l’économie sociale et l’entreprise sociale. Cette publication est disponible en version imprimée en allemand, en grec, en anglais et en français.
