Migrant Workers: English Language Classes
- Question
- My Lords, what financial assistance is given to educational institutions that provide outreach work to those who do not speak English, particularly women?
- Answer
-
My Lords, large public resources are devoted to the causes set out by my noble friend. Last year, public funding for ESOL classes ran at £279 million, which is a threefold increase in funding for ESOL provision since 2001. Substantial resources are made available to colleges to meet the priorities to which the noble Baroness referred, among others.
