Learner Registration Service
There is now a critical mass of ULNs within the education sector
LRS launched in Feb 2008 (after ‘early adopter’ phase)
Nearly 8.8 million learners in England, Wales and Northern Ireland
now have a ULN
ULN can be allocated to every person in education in UK above
age 12
Nearly 5,400 organisations – Learner Registration Bodies – using
the LRS to identify ULNs for their students. These include schools,
colleges, universities, training providers and awarding
organisations.
Many awarding organisations, including the big 5, are now using
the ULN as a candidate identifier - over 3M verification transactions
last summer
UK Register of Learning Providers
The UKPRN is the identifier of choice for 14+ Learning Providers
• Register of learning providers as legal entities, launched in
August 2005

MIAP in Higher Education
Story so far
• A MIAP Higher Education Advisory Group (HEAG) was formed in 2008, chaired
by Bob Burgess
• A strategic outline business case was developed and agreed by the HEAG in
April 2009. This advocated small scale pilots to test the benefits claimed in the
Business Case.
• HEFCE and JISC are sponsoring the pilots, and contributing funds.
• Very good interest from the HE sector in these pilots.
