The Quality Improvement Agency for Lifelong Learning, which was set up last week to improve the standards of post-16 education and training, will lead work on a three-year strategy for lifelong learning - the sector's first.
From autumn this year, the agency is funding a post-16 support initiative to improve the teaching within citizenship, building on the existing post-16 programme launched by the Department for Education and Skills in 2001.
An Ofsted evaluation of the programme, published in November, highlighted youth workers' skills in creating a supportive atmosphere for citizenship projects, but called for better assessment of young people's progress.
