§ Mr. Nicholas Wintertonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many unemployed people are currently receiving adult education; and how many local authorities charge less for adult education courses for unemployed people.
§ Mr. William SheltonThese details are not collected by the Department; but an annual survey, conducted by the national institute of adult education and the advisory council for adult and continuing education, suggests that roughly two-thirds of local education authorities remit fees in whole or in part in the case of all unemployed students, while nearly all the remainder are prepared to consider reductions on a case-by-case basis.
