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.
The #APConnect Northstar Train the Trainers in Advanced Practice pathway is an exciting, fresh and cutting-edge professional development opportunity for experienced Advanced Practitioners.
A new Education and Training Foundation anthology of project reports highlighting the value of action research in the post-16 Education and Training sector is now available.
Find out how FE practitioners from Kendal College and South Lakes Community Learning have been using emojis to help learners develop their vocabulary acquisition skills and confidence in using new words.
