Harmonising Success Rates

A report commissioned by the information authority in April 2008 entitled ‘Harmonising Ofsted and LSC Qualification Success Reporting’ showed that individual colleges and providers were puzzled by the array of success rates used by government agencies.

The report led to the then LSC and Ofsted intensifying existing working arrangements and the formation of the Success Rate Data Harmonisation Group. The group has representatives from a wide range of agencies and is responsible for taking forward this work across the further education and training system.

The Data Harmonisation Working Groups - technical sub-groups of the Success Rate Data Harmonisation Group, have been taking forward several projects to progress the work on harmonising success rates.

To find out more about the recent work undertaken in this area, please see our Harmonising Success Rates - Progress page.
