Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to ensure that education policy relates to learners of all ages and backgrounds.

The Government has made a series of changes to help ensure education policy better supports all ages. In the 2016 Budget, the Government announced that it would conduct a review into the gaps in support for lifetime learning, including for flexible and part-time study. The review is on-going and the Government will announce its next steps shortly.
