The former director of the Basic Skills Agency has commented that Skills for Life may be a waste of time as having lower literacy levels is not that important and that SfL research results are questionable. Do we accept that the former director is convinced of this? Or do we, knowing that Labour is attempting a rejig of the Education Budget, assume that he has been asked to do this in order to lend weight to Government attempts to cut ESOL and Basic Skills funding? We hear the soundbites already!
