GLA Adult Skills Fund

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). In August 2024, the AEB changed to the Adult Skills Fund (ASF). As a result, it is not possible to directly compare this year’s data with participation and enrolment to previous years under the AEB. The GLA ASF data publication below provides information on adult (aged 19+) GLA-funded Further Education, comprising Adult Skills Core, Tailored Learning and Free Courses for Jobs (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).  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.
