| Annotation | The value of older people's participation in lifelong learning is confirmed, but the activity is under threat from Government funding. Age Concern London (ACL), the Greater London Forum for Older People, and Age Concern and Help the Aged are gathering information on access to formal and informal learning across London. At an event on 27 March 2009, older people gave their views on the benefits and the barriers to learning. This report comments that priority has been given to vocational training and under 25s. Among its recommendations is for a Londonwide older person's learning pass: learning must be accessible and affordable for all. (RH). |
