Programme-based Funding
“By moving away from an output based system to one that is focused on outcomes, the new system will have learners at its centre and enable providers to support the outcomes of the learning.” Statement by the Minister 5th February 2013
“ A programme of learning should equip learners with the necessary skills required for employment or progression into further or higher learning. The key is skills that are valued by employers and the Welsh economy.” DfES Report 2013
