This reform is long overdue. However, shorter apprenticeships (below 12 months) should be a red flag for Jacqui Smith Bridget Phillipson We don’t want another BBC Panorama scandal; as we had in 2012, with 16 week shelf-stacking ‘apprenticeships’ conning people & the public purse

Brilliant speech by ⁦⁦Jacqui Smith⁩ at the HOLEX network. The speech highlights Tailored Learning which covers the wider benefits of learning and sets out the importance of adult education and skills - looks like a new dawn for adult education. gov.uk/government/spe…

Looking forward to Value of lifelong learning debate in the Lords today. Hope the discussion is broader than the HE Loan entitlement- lifelong learning should be for everyone, all ages, stages and settings - we need a cultural change ⁦Jacqui Smith⁩ parliament.uk/business/news/…

My excitement is short lived. My concern was that the debate would be all about the LLE loan but it was wider. The Lords at their best. However it has surfaced that DFE has cut Adult Skills budget for 25/26 So here we are again. Jacqui Smith

We all understand that public budgets are tight, but hard to see how government can deliver growth or achieve any of its other missions unless it invests in the education and skills of its people.

Another blow to adult & community education in FE Week report that budgets set to be cut ❌ ACE transforms lives delivering vital skills & opportunities that society needs. We need a #NewDealforFE ✊ Read our response 👇 ucu.org.uk/article/13900/…

FE Week I don’t agree with the decision, But curious—where will the surplus funding go? If apprenticeships drop from 12 to 8 months, that’s a 33% cost saving. Add removal of provider costs for English & maths, thats a big funding pot to redistribute to adults who need the qualifications.

DFE has already announced cutting the adult skills budget by 6% which means there will be a 100,000 less places, if they put back funding for 60,000 there is still a deficit of 40,000. Giving with one hand and taking with the other. Jacqui Smith #speakup4adulted

You don’t need to be a mathematician to work out that Adult Education as a whole is being cut at a time when more adults will be out of work because they don’t have the skills required. The Davos world Economic Forum has estimated that 85% of adults will need retraining by 2030
