Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans she has to increase provision for adult skills and lifelong learning.
This question was answered on 6th February 2017
We are committed to 3 million more apprenticeships, which are for people of all ages and creating new technical education routes. Delivered by a revitalised FE sector, including specialist institutions, these will provide people with the skills employers need.
We are also supporting adults to retrain through advanced learner loans and we will be exploring ambitious new approaches to encourage lifetime learning, including in HE which has a role extending opportunities for adults.
