We value learning in all its forms. Learning can make a profound difference to adult lives in many ways:
- through the formal development of skills that enable people to get better jobs;
- through learning that helps develop families, communities and community cohesion;
- and by meeting the basic human need for creativity and stimulation.
This consultation is primarily but not exclusively about the last of these - structured and unstructured adult learning for enjoyment, personal fulfilment and intellectual, creative and physical stimulation.
The IAL consultation closed on Thursday 12 June.
Consultation response
Over 5,500 organisations and individuals have responded, from a wide range of perspectives and across the public, private, voluntary and self-organised sectors.
