Subject: Skills drive - why no mention of libraries?
The BBC has reported a "plan to upgrade the skills of England's
workforce includes 3.5m basic literacy and numeracy courses".
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7097125.stm
What I want to know is - why no mention of libraries? When literacy is
mentioned in these debates, we never hear any mention of libraries at
all.
It would be nice if someone "official" such as a rep from CILIP or
department of culture were to speak out.
There is only so much as front-line librarians can do without
representation. Most frustrating.
