UCU: Adult education funding

Motion

Motion text: Conference:
Recognises that adults return to learning through a myriad of different routes;
Reiterates its support for Lifelong Learning;
Is appalled at the way funding has been prioritised and withdrawn from adult programmes and fees increased so that adults are only able to access a limited range of courses that meet a narrow agenda.
Conference therefore resolves to continue the campaign to restore and expand funding for adult learning and to link with other organisations to publicise the current reductions in adult learning and to ensure that a broad programme of Lifelong Learning is fully funded.
