The Department for Education holds the responsibility for encouraging students to take up courses offered by higher education institutions and it is the responsibility of Universities and Colleges to offer higher education courses in response to the need and demand of learners.

Government recognises the value higher education plays in young people’s lives and acknowledges how formal and informal educational opportunities work together to improve outcomes and opportunities for learners.
