Angela Rayner MP, Labour’s Shadow Education
Secretary,

responding to Ofsted’s report on Learndirect, said:

“We hope the Government has
listened to our call to step in and protect trainees and apprentices in the
short term, but in the long term it still leaves serious questions about the provision
of training, as well as how we got into this position in the first place.

“This is why Ministers should take
direct control now, to make sure the service is protected and restored to its
previous high standards.

“Today’s Ofsted report is just the
latest evidence of the damage done by Government
cuts, privatisation and falling investment.
It’s time for a different approach, which is why Labour would invest in
genuinely high-quality technical and adult education, with free lifelong
learning for all, so that people can re-skill and re-train throughout their
lives.”
