| Annotation | This paper is intended to help local authorities to develop their Public Service Agreements (PSAs) and to consider how and when education in later life can be offered. It explores the value of learning in later life, some of the ways it can be incorporated into Local PSAs and latterly highlights some of the features of the local adult education world. It notes PSA targets which are of particular relevance to older people and learning in later life: No 2: Improve the skills of the population, on the way to ensuring a world-class skills base by 2020; No 8: Maximise employment opportunity for all; No 15: Address the disadvantage that individuals experience because of their gender, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion or belief; No 17: Tackle poverty and promote greater independence and well-being in later life; and No 21: Build more cohesive, empowered and active communities. Suggestions for implementing each action point refer to the PSA target concerned; and references and websites are suggested. (KJ/RH). |
