GLA Adult Education Budget

From 1 August 2019, the Secretary of State for Education delegated responsibility for the commissioning, delivery, and management of London’s Adult Education Budget (AEB) to the Mayor of London. In early 2020, the AEB Mayoral Board agreed that AEB programme data should be published following the Department for Education’s Further Education and Skills data publication and in line with the UK Code of Practice for Official Statistics (which the Greater London Authority has signed up to on a voluntary basis).  This GLA AEB data publication provides information on adult (aged 19+) GLA-funded Further Education, comprising Education and training and Community learning (excluding apprenticeships, traineeships, advanced learner loans, the offender learning and skills service, and education and training services funded by the Education and Skills Funding Agency).  Note that in August 2024, the AEB changed to the Adult Skills Fund (ASF). As a result, it is not possible to directly compare ASF data with participation and enrolment from previous years under the AEB. The most recent ASF data releases are available here: GLA Adult Skills Fund - London Datastore

Wherever in-year data is used, it presents provisional, reported to date figures. These are updated in subsequent data returns, and should not be considered the final record of provision in that time period.
