Informal adult community learning – online survey
by Rob Brindley - Thursday, 1 September 2011, 08:12 AM
 

Individuals can have their say about the future of informal adult community learning, by responding to a new national online survey by 31 October 2011, as part of the government's review of informal adult learning.

Responses to NIACE's online survey will help to influence how public money for informal adult and community learning is spent in local areas and what learning opportunities are made available. The survey is sponsored by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), which has launched a broader consultation aimed at organisations, such as education providers and employers, in August.

Jane Ward, Programme Manager at NIACE, said:

"This is a real opportunity for individuals to influence policy regarding the future of informal adult community learning and we urge learning providers and others in the sector to encourage and support people in accessing and completing the survey. We are hoping for a huge response to once again demonstrate how much people value informal adult learning. This is the Big Society in action."
