What is coming next?Community Learning 2013-14The government believes that Community Learning is a vital part of the lifelong learning continuum. New Challenges, New Chances published by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills in December 2011, confirmed the continuation of Community Learning funding and highlighted its purpose as enabling the delivery of learning that meets local needs, promotes social renewal and maximises social and economic well-being. From 2013/14 all providers receiving Community Learning funding from the Skills Funding Agency (direct contractors) will be expected to use that funding in a way that meets the vision and principles set out in New Challenges, New Chances, the Skills Funding Statement (December 2011) and the Skills Funding Agency’s Funding Rules.
