Benefits
MIAP will lead to a wide range of benefits affecting everyone with an interest in post-14 education and training, and will result in business improvements across the sector.
The direct strategic benefit of the MIAP service for the education sector is the increased accuracy and efficiency in identifying and sharing learner and provider demographic participation and achievement information. Sharing these services will enable education sector organisations to drive efficiencies and reduce administration processing costs by offering learners more personalised and efficient services for information, advice and guidance and enrolment, examination and certification.
In 2008/9, £18 million of shared service efficiencies were realised through effective and efficient bulk data sharing of a single source of learner information. Find out more about how MIAP is increasing shared service efficiencies within the MIAP: increasing shared service efficiencies case study.
Introducing MIAP services brings new processes and business change. MIAP recognises this burden but anticipates the burdens identified will be short term until processes are embedded into business as usual and lead to greater efficiencies in the long term. To minimise this initial burden, a range of case studies are in development intended to be models of success which other stakeholders can replicate to drive out the highest level of benefit. Three case studies are published below:
Ufi: web service efficiencies
Leicester College: optimising learner data sharing
Coombe Dean School: using the Unique Learner Number
