WORKERS EDUCATION ASSOCIATION AND LEARNING THROUGH LIFE

Early day motion 2325, tabled 31 October 2011 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 34 members.

That this House is aware that lifelong learning changes and enriches people's lives by its support for self confidence, health and well-being, it being also a powerful driver in aiding rehabilitation of citizens living at the edges of society by it acting as a catalyst for the positive development of local communities; notes that in particular adult education plays a major part in this success by bringing about thousands of personal transformations every year, across all sectors of society; commends the Workers Education Association on its recent campaigning report, Learning Through Life, which challenges both Ministers and all other politicians to recognise education contribution; and supports its call to redistribute existing resources more equitably across all age groups.

Signatures by party: Labour 26, DUP 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Alliance 1, Conservative 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
