Learning for All: fourth update report

The event also launched the Learning for All: Fourth update report on measures of success -March 2010 [PDF].

For this 2010 update we have made a series of changes to the publication, including:

• statistical data over five-year trends, to align data reporting with our Scottish Participation Report 2003-04 to 2007-08 report issued in November 2009;
• the representation of data by local authority area, in the form of complementary tables, where available. We will phase out the supply and demand area information and replace it with local authority information;
• data from 2006-07 to 2008-09; and
• tables that provide an overview of participation within individual institutions by key equality and deprivation indicators (Annex A).

This Learning for All update, combined with the annual practitioner event represents our ongoing commitment to both monitoring and influencing our collective response to the widening participation challenge.

Accessible versions of the update report

We aim to make all content on our website as accessible as possible, for example to visually impaired users. In addition to this, specially created versions of the Learning for All fourth update report and associated data, with additional accessible features, are available:

• Learning for All: Fourth update - accessible PDF version and Learning for All: Fourth update - Excel data: please use both files together as the PDF file does not include the statistical data tables held in the Excel file (you should only use these versions if you use a screen reader);  and
