Skills for Life: Changing Lives (Department for
Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS), March
2009)
This document refreshes and updates the original strategy from
2001. Since 2001 national standards and curricula for literacy,
language and numeracy, and a national test, have been
introduced. There is explicit reference to English for
Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), but not to any other
languages.
For main achievements to
date linked to 2001 strategy, see the Department for
Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) website.
