Over the last years, the European Union has been working toward the creation of an Electronic Platform for Adult Learning in Europe – EPALE, a multilingual open membership community that, according to its creators, is “designed to be of interest to teachers, trainers, researchers, academics, policy makers and anyone else with a professional role in adult learning across Europe.”

The UK is treading water when it comes to international comparisons of adult basic skills, according to the OECD Survey of Adult Skills. Join us for a BIS-sponsored event to reflect on what we can learn from the OECD survey and other relevant research, and determine what actions might best be taken in future, drawing on international practice.
