| Annotation | The Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) consultation document 'Informal adult learning - shaping the way ahead' sought views to help shape a new vision for informal adult learning in the 21st century. The response from Age Concern England (ACE) focuses on learners aged 50+, and is based on four workshops with older learners and eight structured interviews and local Age Concerns that deliver informal education. This summary notes key points and ACE's recommendations on: the value of learning; understanding and improving on current provision; the government contribution; DIUS-funded informal adult education; equality of access; and broadcasting and technology.
