Third Sector Adult Learning Ask of Scottish Government

Summary 

Adult learning is vital to reducing inequality, strengthening communities, and supporting lifelong wellbeing. Scotland’s third sector delivers this impact every day. 

However, without secure funding, coherent leadership, and genuine partnership, its capacity to continue doing so is at risk. 

Investing in third sector adult learning is investing in Scotland’s people, communities, and future. 

Third sector organisations delivering adult learning across Scotland are calling on the Scottish Government to: 

  • Provide multi-year, core funding to enable sustainable planning and delivery. 
  • Establish a stronger national vision and leadership for adult learning beyond employability outcomes. 
  • Recognise that adult learning transforms lives and combats inequality — but only if it is properly supported, valued, and integrated into national policy.
