Family Learning Framework

Family learning changes lives. Evidence shows that when learning opportunities for adults are linked to the education of children in the family, it builds motivation, confidence and a commitment to learning. It is particularly effective as an approach to reaching and engaging adults who have benefited least from their initial education, have fewer qualifications and little experience of paid work. As an engagement tool family learning develops skills and pathways to further learning and employment.

Adult Participation in Learning Survey 2023

Learning and Work Institute (L&W) has tracked the number of adults taking part in learning through an annual Adult Participation in Learning survey, the largest of its kind, and now in its 27th year. The results for 2023 show that almost one in every two adults in the UK (49%) have taken part in learning in the last three years. Our regional report provides a unique insight into how many adults in Wales are taking part in learning, what motivates them to learn, what barriers they face, and how learning can support career change. The report also compares the participation rates and patterns in Wales with the rest of the UK, highlighting the similarities and differences across the nations and regions.
