About This Publication
This paper is about the implications for lifelong learning of the changing nature of communities in Britain.
This is the third thematic paper to be published from the Inquiry into the Future for Lifelong Learning (IFLL). This paper, published on 22 April 2009, is about the implications for lifelong learning of the changing nature of communities in Britain, and especially of the impact of migration (internal and external to Britain) on this. It aims to present as accurate a picture as possible of patterns of migration and community cohesion in Britain, but focuses on the broad trends and what they imply for what individuals and communities need to learn. It argues that adult education can speed up the process of integration into a new community, helping people to quickly become a significant part of their neighbourhood. This is true for people moving within the UK, as well as from other countries, and should include rapid access to first level ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) teaching for those who need it.
