Coleg Morgannwg a leader of further education in Wales
Coleg Morgannwg has shown that its students are performing above the Welsh average for course completion rates and attainment levels in the further education sector.
The average success rate of students across all courses (un-weighted rate) at Coleg Morgannwg is now 84% with the current benchmark for the country standing at 81%. These statistics place the college in the top two further education institutions in the country.
Principal at Coleg Morgannwg, Judith Evans said: “It is brilliant to see that our student completion and success rates place us as one of the best performing colleges in Wales. The success is testament to our strong leadership team, committed staff, dedicated student body and excellent support from employers.
“Our aim is to raise learners’ aspirationsand ensure that they all achieve their potential in their chosen career path. We provide them with suitable career choices in a supportive and well resourced learning environment. It has been a successful year and the opening of our new campus next year will have a further positive impact.”
Coleg Morgannwg’s most successful courses are media and performing arts which have an impressive 98% completion rate and vocational design studies which has a 97% completion rate. Both courses are also very successful with a 93% and 91% success rate respectively.
These figures cap a magnificent academic year for the college which has been awarded the UK-wide AOC Beacon Presidents Award for its costume construction course, achievement of the Wales Quality Award for the Most Improved Organisation in Wales and became the first further education college to receive the Gold Health Standard by the Welsh Government.
Coleg Morgannwg plans to continue improving its student experience with the state-of-the-art Taf Ely Learning Campus, due to open in September 2012 and is looking forward to another successful academic year starting this September.
