Quality Improvement
Agency (QIA) Skills for Life Improvement Programme
The key aim of the QIA Skills for Life Improvement
Programme is to improve teaching, learning and achievement
in literacy, language and numeracy. Support for providers
is available under the following broad categories:
Workforce Development
Whole organisation approach to improving learner
success rates
Embedding literacy, language and numeracy
Assessment
Working with people with learning difficulties
and/or disabilities
Speaking and listening
As noted above, there is a specific strand focussing on
working with people with learning difficulties and/or
disabilities, which NIACE and SKILL are leading on.
Through this element of the programme we aim to improve
the quality of experience and support improved levels of
achievement for learners with learning difficulties and/or
disabilities. Using the materials developed in previous
national projects, the Learning for Living pathfinder
project and the Supporting Dyslexic Learners project,
providers will be encouraged to embed these materials into
everyday practice in order to support learners. To find
