This week in Westminster: On Wed in response to PM @RishiSunak's statement on #COP27 @theresa_may highlighted that people will need education & training to take on new high-skilled green jobs. She also asked the gov what their plans are for education & training for green skills.

Please share so that those who need it, see it. Well done to Asda 👏🏻

@ubah_egal @BootstrapCook Absolutely. Allergy food shopping is often three times as expensive.

BREAKING: £3 billion boost to FE and skills funding to be in next week's #SpendingReview, @RishiSunak has said. bit.ly/3Gc43CG

Adult learners are amazing, they carried on through the pandemic, juggled - work, child care and home schooling and nearly 50,000 took their maths GCSE with 75% of the over 25’s achieving 4 and above. Incredible and well done. It’s never too late to up-skill. #speakup4adulted

This is a real shame, to just cut out the whole sector.

Come on @ESFA can you tell the learners of Somerset where they go for their AEB vocational regulated courses such as digital? Why destroy a quality organisation which was only created because the @cabinetofficeuk wanted to pilot new ways of delivery. Another fail of policy

Adult Community Ed would like to thank all the Peers who have spoken up and ensured adult learning is not forgotten. Lifelong learning is much more than short term skills gain it’s also about achieving a more equal, prosperous, empowered healthy community. bills.parliament.uk/bills/2868/pub…

Good questioning may be the most basic tenet of lifelong learning and independent thinking that school offers students. kqed.org/mindshift/5118…
