Access and Learning Sample Clauses

Access and Learning. ‌ In addition to the creation of economic growth, the College also cites the generation of social well- being as a key feature of our core organisational purpose. This core purpose recognises our role and responsibilities as an organisation in improving people’s life chances by ensuring access to high quality of education that is appropriate to their needs, enables them to reach their full potential (regardless of characteristic or background) and equips them with the vocational and essential skills necessary to succeed in the world of work. Our Outcome Agreement itself has been subject to Equalities Impact Assessment which is available on our website. The College monitors closely the participation (and mainstreaming) of learners from protected characteristic groups and publishes detailed statistics biennially. Our analysis of equalities data within our Mainstreaming Report shows that the broad distribution of protected characteristic groups within our student population matches the distribution found within the wider population of Dundee and Angus. The College is engaged in a number of projects and activities that support those with issues of equality that are compounded by socio-economic disadvantage. This includes a broad range of curriculum provision and support through our Access and Inclusion curriculum and engagement with a wide range of regional inclusiveness projects. The College is an active member and supporter of the Dundee Fairness Commission. The College is one of only a handful to receive Scottish Government funding to tackle issues of Child Poverty. This funding is supporting extensive engagement with young people and lone parents across our communities to begin their engagement with education and move through into mainstream provision and employment. The College has been an active supporter of the ethos and targets outlined by the Commission on Widening Access and, in addition to our own extensive higher education provision, plays a central role in supporting and growing successful articulation links for learners from all backgrounds. The College has already undertaken a significant amount of work to develop this activity, and will continue this in 2020/21 as detailed below. Learner outcomes, progression and post course success for learners from the 10% most deprived postcode areas in our community are above the Scottish average, as are outcomes for younger learners, those with disabilities, BME learners, and others irrespective of protect...

Access and Learning. The College is currently developing its Access and Inclusion Strategy through its Safeguarding Group and the new strategy will be published in 2021. Priority Outcomes related to Access and Inclusion to be delivered through the period AY 2020/21 to AY 2022/23 include: • increased access to language acquisition and opportunities for usage and increasing the number of learners undertaking SMO FE programmes • enabling more people to access Gaelic culture, through the development of a new arts strategy • increased activity with schools, adult learners, UHI partners, other organisations regionally and nationally to increase coherence in learning provision, specifically working with the BBC and other bodies on the development of Speak Gaelic. • increase the number and location of Gaelic-language FE short courses provided by the College to provide more opportunities to gain fluency and increased access to learning • continue the delivery of Seachdain nan Teaghlach (Family Learning Week) in partnership with local authorities through Community Learning and Development (CLAD) • establish a scholarship scheme to support students from under-represented groups. Areas of multiple deprivation (Fair Access and Transitions) As a National Centre, SMO recruits students from across Scotland and further afield and so delineated areas of deprivation are not distinct targets for the College. Recognising the changing demographic of Gaelic speakers, it is important to the College that it ensures equality of access and inclusion. However, in common with other island and remote rural locations, it is recognised that there are fewer public services where the College is located, that the rural cost of living is higher than urban living, and that these can cause barriers to access. Our supported distance learning provision is geared towards both reducing barriers to access for rural students and increasing access for students throughout Scotland and beyond to Gaelic language learning. This creates opportunities for progression into Further and Higher Education. The College looks to increase participation from the most deprived areas, where possible. However, it is important to recognise that there are significant challenges in terms of providing access to Gaelic language learning opportunities, particularly in remote rural areas and that the College has utilised a range of strategies, including scholarships, to overcome these challenges. The College will continue to develop programmes w...
