Management and Structure
The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) was
established by the Learning and Skills Act 2000

Management Group (until 31 March 2010)
We have been responsible to
the Government for:
•
raising participation and
achievement by young
people
•
increasing adults’ demand
for learning
•
raising skills levels for
national competitiveness
•
improving the quality
of education and
training delivery
•
making sure opportunities
are equal through
improving access to
learning
•
improving the further
education (FE) system’s
effectiveness and
efficiency, and
•
ensuring a smooth
transition to the Skills
Funding Agency and
the YPLA.
We have been led and
guided by the National
Council and its committees,
offering independent
views and experience from
across society, and raising
issues that affect people,
communities and employers.
