So, before I bring you press release from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, let me just ask you “What the hell was wrong with the English language courses that were available and now aren’t?”
Skills Minister John Hayes pledged (on 18 July) to provide more effective, targeted help for people who face barriers to learning the English language skills communities need.
Following the publication of an equality impact assessment of provision for English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) training, which he ordered, Minister Hayes announced that BIS will work in partnership with the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) on developing new forms of support for those who need informal, community-based learning of English.
