ColegauCymru is delighted to launch new research which highlights the social value of #furthereducation #colleges in Wales. With grant funding from Llywodraeth, ColegauCymru commissioned development agency Cwmpas and CLES - Centre for Local Economic Strategies to carry out a research project to establish the social value of FE in Wales. As anchor institutions, colleges make a significant contribution to their local economies and communities. This research aims to develop a current understanding of the impact and social value of the college sector. The sector is currently navigating a challenging period - with the public purse under intense pressure and changes to our education infrastructure. Given the challenges facing today’s Wales, FE colleges are more important than ever, and stand ready to help Welsh Government meet its ambitions of delivering a stronger, greener and fairer Wales. The research draws together evidence from across Wales emphasising the key contributions colleges make to their local communities, public services and industries. The data and case studies are mapped against Wales’ seven wellbeing goals: - A prosperous Wales - A resilient Wales - A healthier Wales - A more equal Wales - A Wales of more cohesive communities - A Wales of vibrant culture and thriving Welsh language - A globally responsible Wales Dave Hagendyk Kelly Edwards Rachel Cable Read the full report:
