Policy and Context The Coalition Government’s Strategy for Sustainable Growth cites a highly educated and skilled workforce as an essential component of the growth potential of the UK. –New Challenges, New Chances: Further Education and Skills; –Students at the Heart of the System: Higher Education. Key drivers –integrated general and vocational offer with Apprenticeships across schools leading to FE, HE and employment; -operating a regulated qualification and credit-based system enabling credit accumulation and transfer. -increasing focus on independence, academies, raising the participation age and independent IAG (Lifelong Learning Accounts and launch of National Careers Service); –simplifying the funding system, new loan arrangements and supporting progression with a stronger focus on prior attainment and destination information;

Single Identifier for 14+ ULN The ULN is the key to learning: a number for the learner that can be used throughout their education from age 14; nearly 15 million issued; unlocks services in education; gains access to the Lifelong Learning Account, funding and achievement results online. new initiatives are being built around the ULN

Direction of travel Focus on realising administration efficiencies for examinations (A2C), enrolment, funding and excellence (progression) within the UK education system Move towards a single learner identifier to enable effective data sharing Simplify the administration of the ULN Enable access to prior achievement (almost real-time award data) and education destination data Secure the wide spread adoption of the ULN and PLR

Developments Cont… -HEFCE-HESA recommending HEIs use the PLR for collecting prior achievement during National Careers Service/Lifelong Learning Accounts to integrate online ID to ‘Get ULN’ and ‘Get PLR – award data’ online during Careers Wales Online to offer ‘Get ULN’ and ‘Get PLR’ online during Fully integrate ULN and PLR with UCAS Apply for use by schools and FE students from onwards -ULN to be used by Student Loans Company to underpin the administration of FE loans with FE providers
