No further research work on this has been commissioned since the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority survey in 2005. However levels of activity in the Further Education sector as recorded through the Learning and Skills Council’s individualised learner record show a growth in demand for ESOL which is clearly unsustainable within the public funding available. Information is not available to disaggregate this information beyond getting a view of overall provision levels, but it is our priority to ensure that funding is prioritised on those who must need public help and support and that those learners who we support are able to access learning that is good quality and is appropriate to their needs.
