- Learning and Skills Council survey finds just half of adults would spend £1,000 Adult Learning Grant 'Young adults have admitted they would spend their £1,000-a-year learning grant on going to the pub, rather than purchasing new books, a survey has revealed. The ALG is intended to be a helping hand for adults who want to learn more skills, but have certain financial worries. But 18% of the 1,600 adults surveyed by the LSC said they would spend their part of the £35m initiative on going out, rather than on learning materials such as books or computer equipment.' from : duncanoleary 13th August 2007
