New challenges, new chances for adult learning
17/08/2011
The Government has launched a consultation setting out proposals that will promote high quality teaching and learning for adults, further free colleges to respond more effectively to the needs of their local communities and strengthen the skills system by securing a fairer balance of investment between learners, employers and taxpayers.
The plans outlined in New Challenges, New Chances, published today, represent the next phase of the Government’s plans to implement radical reform of adult learning and skills provision in England. They build on the strong achievements of the past year, with record numbers of apprenticeships and a raft of freedoms for training providers. The consultation covers measures to:
- Provide greater freedoms and flexibilities and further reduce the burden of bureaucracy on further education and skills providers;
- Improve the quality of teaching and learning for adults;
- Strengthen further education and skills providers’ capacity to offer training at higher education level;
- Review and improve basic literacy and numeracy provision for adults;
- Refocus Government support for informal adult and community learning; and
- Introduce loans from the 2013/14 academic year providing access to advanced and higher level courses;
- Develop the further education landscape and shape of the sector;
