As a part of its 2004-05 remit work for the Welsh Assembly Government, Estyn was asked to carry out an area inspection of and to report on the quality of education and training (learning) for residents aged 16-19. Estyn carries out area inspections under section 83 of the Learning and Skills Act 2000. This states that if asked to do so by the National Assembly, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education and Training for Wales must inspect: the quality and availability of a specified description of education or training, in a specified area in Wales, for persons who are aged 16 or over, the standards achieved by those receiving that education or training and whether the financial resources made available to those providing that education and training are managed efficiently and used in a way which provides value for money.
