English, Maths, and ESOL Conference

The annual conference on adult English, maths and ESOL will be a forum for policymakers, providers, practitioners, and researchers and will include information about Multiply (many of you in the region have asked for more information about this funding). The launch of the three-year, £560 million Multiply programme is an opportunity to address part of this adult numeracy challenge.  To maximise the Government’s investment, it will be important that Multiply joins up effectively with other programmes, including the Adult Education Budget, and employment and skills support through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.  It will also be important to deliver the programme in ways which benefit learners with other essential skills needs, including ESOL, literacy and digital skills.
