Purpose of the consultation
The
Welsh Parliament's Children, Young
People and Education Committee conducted a short and focussed
post-legislative scrutiny of the Higher Education (Wales) Act 2015.
The
Committee is mindful that work on the Welsh Government’s proposed
Post-compulsory Education, Training and Research (PCETR) reforms were
well-advanced. It was keen therefore to understand how well the 2015 Act was working,
and what lessons could be learnt from the Act, before any new legislation is
introduced.
The
Committee welcomed views and evidence on the following:
1.
Has,
or is the Act, achieving its policy objectives, and if not why not?
2.
How
well are the Act’s overall arrangements working in practice, including any
actions your organisation has had to take under the Act?
3.
Are
the costs of the Act, or your organisations own costs for actions taken under
the Act, in-line with what Welsh Government stated they’d be?
4.
Has
the Act achieved value for money?
5.
Have
there been any unintended or negative consequences arising from the Act?
6.
Are
there any lessons to be learned from the Act and how it is working in practice
that may be relevant to the proposed Post-compulsory Education, Training and
Research (PCETR) Bill?
7.
Are
there any lessons to be learned from how this Act was prepared in 2014/15
(formulated, consulted on, drafted etc)?
*
the policy objectives and costings can be found within the Welsh Government’s revised
Explanatory Memorandum that supported the passage of the Bill through the
National Assembly.
