Online Learning Option for Prisoners - Louise Tickle guardian.co.uk
According to the National Audit Office, a third of courses started in prison are not completed, half of these as a direct result of prisoner transfer. The cost of that wastage comes to £30m a year. Losing track of learning records when inmates move prison is a further barrier to their progression that was highlighted by the report. It is hoped that a new pilot, Virtual Campus, which gives prisoners access to online learning and creates a record of achievement, will help with continuity, although one prison manager quoted in the inquiry said a lack of computers might limit progress.
