SEEC: Southern England Consortium for Credit Accumulation and Transfer

Staff Development Workshop

Lifelong Learning: Further and Higher Education Collaboration and the Role
of Credit Accumulation and Transfer
Wednesday 24 February 1999

Britannia Meeting Rooms (NATFHE)
Britannia Street
King's Cross, London.


Background
The distinction between further and higher education has become
increasingly blurred over the last decade with an expansion of higher
education courses in FE colleges and of adult access to higher education. 
The relationship between FE and HE is emphasised in the post-92
universities where 70 of students come through further education.
Many higher education institutions have actively encouraged local and
regional links between the sectors, some have been involved in mergers
while others have developed strategic alliances.  
Lifelong learning implies as smooth a progression through the hierarchy of
academic awards as possible.  Credit accumulation and transfer schemes
(CATS) provide a means through which students' learning can be recognised
and rewarded to encourage and enhance opportunities for such a progression.
Formal and informal networks of HE and FE institutions have been formed
some based on credit schemes and others on alternative arrangements for
mutual recognition of learning and qualifications.
The InCCA (Inter-Consortium Credit Agreement) Report, A Common Framework
for Learning, (September 1998) supports the recommendation of the Robertson
Report Choosing to Change (1994) that "all parties in FE and HE throughout
the UK should converge around the principles of a single unified framework"
(recommendation 29), a position also held by FEDA (Further Education
Development Agency), and proposes an "organic development drawing on the
experience in credit framework implementation currently being amassed……."
(6.10.3)

The Workshop
The workshop will provide an opportunity to consider developments in credit
policy and practice in FE and HE and the implications for closer
collaboration.  There will be presentations by Professor Beverly Sand,
University of Derby, Chief Executive of the Derbyshire Regional Network; Dr
Ian Tunbridge, Head of Academic Partnerships and Liaison, University of
Plymouth; Tony Tait, FEDA Programme Leader (Credit Frameworks); Chris Wood,
Principal Manager, Qualifications Frameworks and Key Skills, QCA
(Qualifications and Curriculum Authority) and Mike Downes, SEEC Development
Officer, who was involved in the InCCA Project.
The workshop will be valuable to all colleagues interested in the
relationship between FE and HE, in the development of a single credit
framework that encompasses FE and HE, in widening participation and
encouraging lifelong learning.
