Laser Learning Awards Signs the Get the Nation Learning Charter

Championing access, quality, and renewed investment in adult learning

We’re proud to announce that LASER has officially signed the Get the Nation Learning Charter, joining a growing alliance of organisations calling for urgent action to revitalise adult education and lifelong learning across the UK.

The Charter — led by the Get the Nation Learning initiative — highlights the pressing need to make learning more accessible, inclusive, and properly funded, especially in the face of declining participation and widening inequalities. It represents a collective commitment from educational institutions, employers, community organisations, and accrediting bodies to reignite national conversations around adult learning.

As an Awarding Organisation dedicated to transforming people’s lives, and their communities, through the recognition of their learning and achievement, this campaign speaks directly to our ethos.

By signing the Charter, we stand alongside others who want to shape the future of lifelong learning in the UK. It’s about creating momentum. The Charter will be presented to government as a catalyst for dialogue. It aims to spark policy discussions on how to ensure adult education is properly supported, resourced, and prioritised.

By supporting the Charter, we reaffirm our commitment to raising standards while widening participation and opportunity.
