Q. What is the NTLCP?

National Teaching and Learning Change Programme

Programme previously run by the then Standards Unit

The vision for the Improvement Strategy is that the whole further

education system that attracts young people and adults to learning

and equips them with the skills and knowledge they need for work and

personal fulfilment, transforms communities, increases social justice

and is the powerhouse of a high-skills economy. The further education

system will be driven increasingly by demand from learners and

employers. To fulfil the vision the system needs enterprising and

innovative leadership and staff whose motivation and commitment to

excellence inspire a culture of learning.
