‘People need the skills and motivation to continue work and re-train’ say MPs on the Lifelong Learning Bill

The House of Commons today debated the 2nd reading of the Lifelong Learning Bill.

The LLE is part of the Government’s reforms to post-18 education and training, which aim to support more people to access high-quality courses that meet the skills needs of employers, and that will get them into good jobs.

From 2025, the LLE will offer people a loan worth £37,000 in today’s tuition fees, which can be used flexibly over their working lives to pay for short courses, modules or full courses, whether at college or at university
