I am delighted to invite you to a national conference to promote and develop adult learning across Scotland. The conference has been planned in partnership with the National Strategic Forum for Adult Learning. This year, the keynote address with be given by Richard Lochhead, Minister for Further Education, Higher Education and Science.

The conference will highlight key priorities relating to all sectors and agencies involved in adult learning and will share innovative practice. Priorities include the need for collaborative funding and local and national guidance services to support adult learning.

Full programme details and registration arrangements will be available shortly. Meanwhile, I hope you will save the date in your diary. I look forward to welcoming you to Newbattle in May.

Best Wishes

Marian
