<p>Since the publication of the Education and Employment Strategy last year, we have
overhauled the prison education system, giving governors control over their education
budgets and have implemented a new approach to education provision</p><p>These fundamentally
change how prison education is delivered. Governors now have the tools, and budget,
to commission the education provision that best meets the needs of their prisoners
and the local labour market.</p><p>To complement the Prison Education Framework which
provides core education, we have developed a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). This
enables governors to commission bespoke education often from smaller suppliers, local
and third sector organisations. This will enhance governors’ ability to find the training
most responsive to employers’ requirements and most appropriate for prisoners’ learning
needs.</p><p> </p>
