ESOL policy changes – have your say Thursday, January 29, 2009 - 15:58

Language Student

NIACE is continuing to investigate the effects that the 2007 changes to ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) funding arrangements have had on providers and the ESOL offer. The Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) has commissioned our work, and we expect to produce a final report on the research finds later in the Spring.

We want to collect and update our evidence about the impact of the changes from colleagues who are responsible for ESOL provision in their organisations, and would like to invite you to participate in our on-line survey by following the link below.

This is an opportunity to say how the changes have affected your provision so far and to contribute to a report that will help to inform future policy development.

The survey is open until 27 February 2009 - we look forward to hearing from you.

Should you have any queries, please email Judith Gawn Judith.gawn@niace.org.uk
