In December 2004, the Welsh Assembly Government issued their annual remit letter to [Education and Learning Wales] ELWa asking for continued commitment to the reform of post-16 learning across Wales. This was to ensure that all residents in Wales are equipped with the right skills to become active citizens and to be able to contribute effectively to the labour market. In its final year before merger with the Welsh Assembly Government, ELWa is keen to deliver its UKP 544 million budget based on informed strategic decisions in order to achieve its objectives. To do this, ELWa needs a thorough understanding of their key target groups. This paper is one in a series of Learning Insights into specific populations within Wales, which are seen to be of strategic importance within ELWa’s delivery remit.
