The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) revealed last week that it would reduce staff from 4,700 to 3,400 across its 47 regional offices and headquarters at Coventry to save on management and running costs, and redirect the money to learners.

The LSC has already made 800 job losses in the past 18 months. In addition, in May it was forced to reduce funding allocations for adult learning, which have led colleges to cut up to 200,000 places on adult education and training course places from this month.
