22/06/2009 - LSIS announces shortlist for Leading the Learner Voice Awards

The Learning and Skills Improvement Service has announced the shortlist for its 2009 Leading the Learner Voice Awards.

Joe Martin, strategic coordinator, learner and citizen empowerment at LSIS, said, “This year we received a record number of entries, all of an exceptionally high standard. As the concept of learner voice has grown throughout the sector, standards have risen dramatically and this was reflected in some of the truly inspiring submissions we received.
