Welsh Assembly Government priorities
HEFCW is an Assembly Government Sponsored Body. We receive an annual remit letter from the Welsh Assembly Government outlining our priority work areas for the following year, to be delivered for the funding we are allocated.
We operate in an overall policy environment set by the Welsh Assembly Government, with many of our priorities set out in:- the Welsh Assembly Government’s long-term strategy for higher education in Wales, Reaching Higher (2002), which sets out its vision of how the higher education (HE) sector will contribute to the achievement of the education and lifelong learning programme to 2010
- One Wales, which sets out the programme for the government of Wales over the National Assembly’s term to 2011
- Skills that Work for Wales (2008) which comprises the Assembly Government’s skills and employment strategy, including associated documents such as Transforming Education and Training Provision in Wales – Delivering Skills that Work for Wales
