A commission has been launched to consider the challenges England faces in educating people throughout their lives, 100 years on from the publication of the Report on Adult Education which concluded that lifelong learning opportunities are key to the country’s future.
The Centenary Commission aims to stimulate a national debate about the role of adult education, and to “rebalance and enhance provision for adults”. It will consider:
Globalisation and the future of work
Civic engagement and democracy
Inequality and social mobility
Communities, migration and identities
Demography and ageing
The Centenary Commission is formed by the Universities of Nottingham and Oxford, the Workers Educational Association, the Co-operative College and the Raymond Williams Foundation, and will publish its report in November 2019.
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.
Join Learning Technology specialist Sammy White to find out how to make your practice more inclusive. This free Demystifying Accessibility webinar will offer lots of ideas for you to implement straight away.
The government has issued an important update report on the reform of Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications which will see new quality criteria and approval processes implemented.
