‘To reduce the costs of recruitment for
schools in a more challenging labour
market, we will create simple web tools
that enable schools to advertise
vacancies for free and a new national
teacher vacancy website so that aspiring
and current teachers can find posts
quickly and easily.’

What can LEO do?
18
* Illustrative figures
How can LEO improve standards?
We are already using LEO in destination measures, and we
will continue to improve these
Consistency across education
Understanding more about the learners that participate in
Further Education – renewed focus on social mobility
Deep understanding of current routes through the
education system (and the labour market)
Improvements in the availability of information and what
training is effective and for what people
Evaluating the effectiveness of programmes
19
When?
It’s hard. We have made a lot of progress but it will take
time to get to the best information.
We can’t do it alone (nor do we want to)
