| Annotation | This is the thirteenth in a series of briefing sheets which aim to provide an introduction to a variety of lifelong learning issues. It outlines the some of the key issues for older people of the new funding arrangements under the proposed National Learning and Skills Council and 47 local learning and skills councils (LSCs) contained in a government Bill. While the provisions of "Learning to succeed" covers all aspects of adult learning, the emphasis is on the vocational, learning at work, and training for employment. NIACE urges interested individuals, older people's organisations and community based initiatives to ensure that they are involved in the local planning processes. For example, it is not clear whether informal and non-statutory learning opportunities such as the University of the Third Age (U3A) and other self-help learning initiatives can bid for funding direct to their local LSC, or must submit their requests to the Local Learning Partnership.
