About

Learning and Work Institute launched the Get the Nation Learning campaign for a simple reason. When adults learn, our society and economy thrive.

Growth, productivity, good work, resilient communities, fuller and richer lives. These are just some of the benefits lifelong learning can bring.

Despite this, investment and participation in adult learning has declined dramatically in the last decade, with large inequalities in who accesses learning opportunities.

As changes in technology leave us all needing new skills and know-how for life inside and outside of work, levels of learning cannot continue to languish.

It’s time to turn the tide. It’s time to get the nation learning.
