Broader advice and guidance Sample Clauses

Broader advice and guidance. The changes to IAG provision in schools have meant many young people have reduced access to a comprehensive careers education programme or the opportunity to discuss their future pathways with a trained careers adviser. Whilst we cannot fill this void completely we have considered how we can best enhance information and advice available to young people considering HE as an option. For 2016/17 we are continuing to improve our range of materials for children, young people and their teachers to enhance their knowledge about HE and the pathways to get there. At primary level we have recently made further improvements to our award winning website xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xx.xx/ by introducing an interactive fictional blog from first year ‘student’ Xxxxx. Primary pupils can ask her questions about university life, her course etc. We also offer a ‘Going UP’ interactive workbook about progression routes and lesson plans for teachers to improve knowledge about HE. At secondary level we have recently launched a new improved website xxxx://xxxxxxxx.xxx.xx/ which is a rich source of information on all HE issues for the 11-16 age group. We will continue to produce our popular ItsUp2U guide on GCSE subject choice for all year 9s in Portsmouth schools and support our mentoring programme where undergraduate students are trained to work with small groups of pupils offering support and advice on attainment and HE progression. In 2016/17 we plan to develop our resources for parents, in particular through our Parent Ambassador Xxxxxx. For post-16 students we will continue to offer one-to-one support during finance workshops; produce our ‘Next UP’ guide with application advice and our series of 16 ‘Looking Ahead’ subject guides, which provide information and advice on getting into specific subjects at university and opportunities afterwards. By continuing to build on the University’s existing successful work in this area, we aim to overcome concerns about all HE access issues including tuition fees and finance, as well as ensuring that the University is strongly placed to meet our Access Agreement recruitment and retention targets.

  • LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS NWD is the controlling shareholder of NWDS and hence a connected person of NWDS. NWD is interested in approximately 57% of the issued share capital of NWSH as at the date of this announcement and NWSH being an associate of NWD is also a connected person of NWDS under the Listing Rules. Members of the CTF Jewellery Group are associates of CTF, which in turn is a substantial shareholder of NWD, a controlling shareholder of NWDS. Accordingly, members of the CTF Jewellery Group are also connected persons of NWD and NWDS under the Listing Rules. Therefore, the Continuing Connected Transactions constitute continuing connected transactions of NWDS under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Since NWDS is a subsidiary of NWD and CTF Jewellery is an associate of CTF which is a substantial shareholder of NWD, the transactions contemplated under the Master Concessionaire Counter Agreement also constitute continuing connected transactions of NWD under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As the relevant percentage ratios calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of each of the Continuing Connected Transactions are more than 2.5%, each of the Continuing Connected Transactions is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules so far as NWDS is concerned. In view of the interests of NWD and CTF in the relevant Continuing Connected Transactions, NWD, CTF and their associates will abstain from voting in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Continuing Connected Transactions, the CCT Agreements and the Annual Caps. As the Annual Caps in respect of the Master Concessionaire Counter Agreement are more than HK$1,000,000 but the relevant percentage ratios calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Master Concessionaire Counter Agreement are less than 2.5%, the Master Concessionaire Counter Agreement is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but is exempt from the independent shareholders’ approval requirement under the Listing Rules so far as NWD is concerned. NWDS will convene the EGM for the purpose of seeking approval from the Independent Shareholders on the Continuing Connected Transactions, the CCT Agreements, and the Annual Caps. The Independent Board Committee will be established to consider the terms of the Continuing Connected Transactions, the CCT Agreements and the Annual Caps, and to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the Continuing Connected Transactions, the CCT Agreements and the Annual Caps are in the interests of NWDS and the NWDS Shareholders as a whole. An independent financial adviser will be appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee in this regard.
