The report sets out the main research findings and recommendations for the government.
It recommends that the government should invest £20 million over 5 years to establish a What Works Centre for further education. The government and the centre should focus on:
- what works across all stages of the learner journey – from participation to longer term socio-economic outcomes
- what works for specific groups of learners
‘Investing in ‘what works’ activity in further education and adult learning: policy brief’ is also available and sets out the case for a What Works Centre for further education and adult learning.
