Adult Learning in Scotland: working towards a new strategy | Education & Lifelong Learning - Holyrood

In the wake of the announcement of an Adult Learning Strategy in the Programme for Government, this event will examine what more can be done to futureproof the provision of adult learning in Scotland by Holyrood.

This will include looking at models of collaboration between third sector organisations, local government and higher education institutions in the context of our changing communities and job market needs.

Shaping the future of Adult Learning in Scotland
This is a crucial time for the adult learning sector in Scotland. Five years on from the publication of the Adult Learning Statement of Ambition the Scottish Government has announced a new Adult Learning Strategy. The 2010 sets up a vision for adult learning and literacy in 2020:

By 2020 Scotland’s society and economy will be stronger because more of its adults are able to read, write and use numbers effectively in order to handle information, communicate with others, express ideas and opinions, make decisions and solve problems, as family members, workers, citizens and lifelong learners
