  • Cost of Adult Education Courses

    • Reference: 2019/9275
    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 16 May 2019
    I recently met with Enfield’s Over 50s Forum, and the cost of further and higher education courses was raised. Many older people want to learn new skills or undertake courses to learn new things and keep their brain active. However, the cost of many courses is prohibitive for many, especially for those no longer in employment. What can you do to ensure that older Londoners can access affordable learning opportunities and Higher Education Courses? Will you raise this issue with London’s HE sector?
