Building the Foundations of A LIFELONG LEARNING SOCIETY

SECTION 7: CONCLUSION

Next Steps

7.1 Given that our review of collaboration between the school and further education sectors in Scotland is at an early stage, this consultation paper is necessarily discursive, and does not contain firm proposals. We therefore plan to consult on a draft joint schools/FE strategy and implementation plan by autumn 2004. The aim is to publish the joint strategy and implementation plan by the end of April 2005 with a view to implementing the strategy from academic year 2005/06 onwards. There may be a need for some transitional arrangements for the first year of implementation.

Other Matters

Q51. Are there any other matters not referred to in this consultation paper which you wish to bring to our attention?
