Leitch Review of Skills
Leitch Review of Skills published
On 5 December 2006, the day before the 2006 Pre-Budget Report, Lord Sandy Leitch published his final report in to UK Skills: Prosperity for all in the global economy –world class skills.
Lord Leitch was commissioned by the Chancellor in 2004 with a remit to “identify the UK’s optimal skills mix in 2020 to maximise economic growth, productivity and social justice, and to consider the policy implications of achieving the level of change required.” The interim report of the Review was published alongside the 2005 PBR, and in the 2006 Budget the Chancellor also asked Lord Leitch to consider how to better integrate employment and skills services at a local level.
In his final report, Leitch recommends that the UK should aim to be a world leader on skills by 2020, in the upper quartile of OECD countries. Lord Leitch also makes a number of recommendations for how that vision should be delivered.
