In June 2019, Gatsby commissioned Pye Tait Consulting to undertake a short piece of research to gather the views of secondary teachers on post-18 options available to students. Key issues which this research sought to address are: · The level of understanding of higher education routes amongst secondary teachers; · Views on how students should be informed of post-18 options; · Important influencers on students when making decisions on post-18 routes; · How students gather information about post-18 options
In February 2017 we commissioned London Economics to explore the relative benefits associated with level 4 and 5 STEM based qualifications. This report analysed the lifetime labour market returns (to the individual and the public purse) associated with higher education at levels 4 and 5.
Against the backdrop of the Post-18 Review of Education and Funding and the Review of Level 4 and 5 Education, this report was commissioned by Gatsby to explore how the higher technical education system in England reached the point where it is today and how current provision compares with other countries. Authored by Simon Field, a leading independent expert on country skills systems, the report draws on history and international comparisons.
In January 2018, we commissioned York Consulting to undertake a qualitative study on providers’ perspectives about Level 4 and 5 provision in England. This report describes the views of 23 higher education providers (including further education colleges, universities, and alternative providers) on the viability of Level 4 and 5 provision; labour market and employer influences on Level 4 and 5 provision; and providers’ approaches to widening participation at Levels 4 and 5.
