Structure of the Framework for Excellence
The FfE has been strongly influenced by experience from piloting and feedback from providers and stakeholders during implementation. It also takes account of how the FfE needs to operate within future commissioning and performance management arrangements.
From 2009, the FfE is much simpler and more sensitive to the diverse nature of the further education sector. It has a small number of core performance indicators that will apply to all types of provider. The core indictors are supplemented by specific indicators that are relevant to particular types of provider and provision.
The table below sets out the FfE indicators for 2009/10.
