This area-based inspection assesses the extent to which a range of organisations in the West Belfast area work together to provide coherent and relevant educational pathways for learners. This inspection model has been developed mainly to inform policy and provision at a strategic level in order to assist the Curriculum Advisory and Support Services, the employing authorities, and the relevant government departments to plan for and provide an education system which meets the demands for a flexible, appropriately trained workforce in a rapidly changing employment market.
