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.
Check out the Skills for Life Network E-News Update September 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.
The proportion of post-16 students achieving a GCSE grade 4 or above was down this year for both maths and English compared to 2019, before the pandemic. Additional demand for English and maths resits is anticipated for the 2023/2024 academic year.
