Big shout out for Adult Community Education; 97% good or outstanding according to Ofsted. Well done everybody.

📋 The quality of education at FE colleges has hit another record high, but the proportion of independent training providers achieving top Ofsted inspection grades has shrunk again.

Another really good piece here on the important role Adult Community Education will continue to play in up-skilling existing adults. This is being made harder by a lack of investment in adult learning tutors as explained here https://t.co/23zxCfcG88

A fab evening seeing @TwentymanDave in Stroud. It reminded me of how I used to regularly lose my car, to the point that when it was actually stolen I spent ages thinking I had just misplaced it and the police were like “What do you mean you THINK your car’s been stolen…?”

Such a fab afternoon seeing @RobBiddulph at the Stratford Literary festival this afternoon. Long queue for a book signing but it gave us time to draw whist we waited! ‘What if’ I write my own children’s book now…? #GrowTheStorySeed #DrawWithRob

[Festival of Learning @festival_learn]

It is so disheartening to see this happening and really highlights how it is completely misunderstood and it really helps support those who have previously found education a struggle. So much we try to do with stretching the budget every single year as inflation increases

NEW: £1000 grants available to support self-organised forms of adult learning with progressive social/environmental/cultural justice aims

@CelebVM @ChesneyHawkes @ChesneyHawkes we've ordered for Kaytie Holdstock but couldn't work out how to put a link to our song in the order. If there's any chance you can include a bit of our personalised 'One and Only' song for her we would be eternally grateful! @CelebVM

Jane is right to draw attention to the meagre funding level attached to functional skills come on @educationgovuk time to do something about it.
