| Annotation | The Inquiry into the Future for Lifelong Learning was set up in 2007 as an independent Inquiry sponsored by NIACE, the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education. 'Learning through life' is the Inquiry's main report, and this summary outlines how the current system of lifelong learning has failed to respond to the major demographic challenge of an ageing society. The analysis is informed by studies of lifelong learning expenditure and participation. The summary details the Inquiry's ten recommendations, the first being base lifelong learning policy on a new model of the educational life course, with four key stages (up to 25, 25-25, 50-75, 75+), followed by rebalance resources fairly and sensibly across the different life stages. The other recommendations are: build a set of learning entitlements; engineer flexibility: a system of credit and encouraging part-timers; improve the quality of work; construct a curriculum framework for citizens' capabilities; broaden and strengthen the capacity of the lifelong learning workforce; (8 and 9) revive local responsibility ... within national frameworks; and make the system intelligent. The 30 supplementary papers that are available for download from the Inquiry website (www.lifelonglearninginquiry.org.uk) are listed. (RH). |
