| Annotation | This consultation paper is designed to stimulate debate and shape future Government policy on both formal and informal adult learning. It includes examples of informal adult learning activities offered across the public, voluntary, self-directed and private sectors, but also admits to and seeks to fill gaps in what is available and/or accessible to different learner groups. It sets out related policies and initiatives funded by other government departments (e.g. Opportunity Age); and describes current DIUS-funded informal adult education in England. It reviews issues about ensuring equality of access to learning, also the contribution of broadcasting and new technologies. The consultation runs until 15 May 2008, and responses may be made by visiting www.adultlearningconsultation.org.uk or sent to Informal Adult Learning Consultation, DIUS, 4th Floor, Kingsgate House, 66-74 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6SW. The intention is to have a wide-ranging debate involving learners, potential learners and special interest groups; and for a policy paper on informal adult learning in the 21st century to be published later in 2008.
