North East Strategic Analysis
Regional Strategic Analysis 2008
The Regional Strategic Analysis 2008 (Published: 10 October 2008)
The Regional Strategic Analysis forms a key part of the Learning and Skills Council’s annual business cycle. It underpins our Regional Commissioning Plan, assessing what we have achieved so far and identifying where we need to do more. This year's strategic analysis provides the evidence to inform decisions about our strategic priorities, and about the learning provision we need to commission from our providers, in 2009/10.
The report will take the form of a high-level summary which draws on research and analysis undertaken or commissioned by the LSC during the last year. We'll also publish some of this research and analysis in more detail - a number of briefing papers are available below, and more will be added in the coming weeks.
