Light and Shade: a NIACE briefing on participation in adult learning by minority ethnic adults draws upon data from the 2001/2002 English Local Labour Force Survey and was produced in partnership with the Department for Education and Skills for Adult Learners’ Week 2003.
The analysis shows that there is an absolute need to focus on adults from minority ethnic groups and sub-groups who are under-represented in learning, particularly Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities, as well as women from a number of minority ethnic groups. The report also shows that some communities, notably African and those with mixed ethnic origins, significantly outperform the national averages for participation. The data show that the educational system is dramatically more effective at serving the learning needs of some communities than others.

Erratum An error has been found in the original data used to produce table 3 of this report. The text and table below presents the findings from the corrected data. The survey shows that 16% of the general adult population and 18% of the minority ethnic adult population of working age in employment participated in job-related training and education in the four weeks previous to the survey interview-taking place. These opportunities, however, are not uniformly available across the minority ethnic population.
