Wales. The National Council for Education and Training for Wales (ELWa – Education and Learning Wales, part of WAG from April 2006) has been active in developing measures of performance for the sector, aimed at providing data to providers for benchmarking and monitoring their performance (ELWa, 2004c).These new measures are proposed for FE, WBL, community learning and school sixth forms funded by the Welsh Assembly Government and are based around similar themes to the measures being developed in England: • completion rates • attainment • value for money • learner destinations • customer satisfaction • value added • engagement with employers • engagement with communities. ELWa has also introduced a requirement for providers to complete a self-assessment report and quality development plan. This requires the use of benchmarking data to compare the performance of different programmes, subject areas and departments, using trends across recent years, performance against targets and measuring their performance against that of other providers.
