Ofsted has raised concerns over some further education providers reverting back to online learning over the spring without a clear reason for doing so.
The inspectorate published its latest findings today into the recovery of education from the Covid-19 pandemic, with three reports covering early years, schools, and further education and skills.
It follows previous reports in the spring and autumn and assesses what the key issues are and how the sector has been recovering.
The report was informed by discussions among Ofsted staff and inspections carried out between April 25 and May 27 of independent specialist colleges, seven further education colleges, two sixth-form colleges and one local authority and adult education provider. Inspection findings from seven independent training providers with high-needs provision and adult education courses were also reviewed.
