This new paper, published by NCFE and the Campaign for Learning, looks at the likely impact of the COVID-19 crisis on post-16 education, the economy and labour market, and outlines an action plan to address the consequences for jobs, apprenticeships, youth unemployment and adult retraining.
The paper warns of a “very different September” to the one the Department for Education and the Department for Work and Pensions planned for way back in January, requiring a “different mix of provision and financial support”. By September, the economy could be 15% smaller and unemployment 1.5m higher, reaching 2.75m.
The central recommendation from the paper is that the Department for Education and the Department for Work and Pensions should develop a joint post-16 education, skills and employment plan for England.
The Education and Training Foundation is delighted to open up bookings for its fully subsidised, face-to-face CfEM Reimagining FE Maths conference that will take place on Friday 24 March 2023 10am – 3.30pm in central Birmingham.
This review of the evidence base for interventions intended to improve numeracy skills among adults aims to inform the development of policy in this area as part of the Multiply programme.
Check out the Skills for Life Network E-News Update January 2023 for a round up of what’s new and what’s happening in maths, English, ESOL and digital skills in the FE and Training sector.
Professor Amanda Kirby provides a checklist covering what you can do before, on and after the day to ensure that your event is as neuro-inclusive as possible.
