Admissions
The admission of students to higher and further education is an area of great public interest and the subject of a number of recent national reviews and reports.
The key concern is that all those who could benefit from post-16 education are given a fair chance to access the course and institution that best fits with their learning, career and life goals. Similarly, educational establishments benefit from the easy access and fluid transfer of admissions data to and from external bodies and across departments.
