There has been a 10% (almost four million) drop in the number of adults taking skills training since 2010, according to the latest annual assessment of participation rates by the Learning and Work Foundation.
The Adult Participation in Learning survey, which draws on data from a national representative survey of 5,000 adults across the UK, provides an evidence base on who participates in learning, their motivations, barriers, and benefits experienced.
The drop represents the lowest recorded participation levels since records began. The paper says government expenditure on adult education (excluding apprenticeships) has been almost halved, while industry spending on employee skills training lags behind other leading economies.Â
Check out the Skills for Life Network E-News Update May 2022 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.
On Tuesday 24th of May 2022, AELP in partnership with The Skills Network will run the Maths and English Summit, which will give providers the opportunity to come together to attend a dedicated event focusing solely on maths and English provision.
Round five of the DfE-funded Taking Teaching Further initiative that supports providers to recruit teachers, including maths, English and SEND specialists, is now open.
In this podcast Saima Hanif, ESOL Lecturer at Hopwood Hall College and a participant in the Outstanding Teaching, Learning and Assessment programme, gives us an engaging insight into using Flipgrid with ESOL learners.
