Adult, Community and Further Education   Learning Skills Council (LSC)   The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) is England’s non-departmental public body for further education. It published its sustainable development action plan From Here to Sustainability: The Learning and Skills Council Strategy for Sustainable Development in 2005, identifying ESD as the first element in the curriculum area for action. It endorsed the delivery of key concepts of the Sustainable Development Education Panel within learning programmes.   In May 2007, LSC published its Sustainable Development Action Plan 2007/08, an updated strategy based on its 2005 From Here to Sustainability action plan. The strategy outlined key actions to be taken by the LSC. These included: undertaking an internal survey of SD activity within the LSC; developing capacity building programme for LSC staff; developing a set of SD indicators for the LSC; contributing to the development of sustainable communities; and working with the further education system to facilitate sharing of good practices.   In February 2008, LSC launched its 2008-2011 national capital strategy, called Building Colleges for the Future, which requires colleges to propose eco-friendly and efficient designs in order to receive funding.   The National Institute for Adult Continuing Education (NIACE)   The National Institute of Adult and Continuing Education (NIACE), the Workers' Educational Association (WEA) and the Development Education Association (DEA) have collaborated in partnership, first in holding a November 2005 conference Education for Sustainable Development: From policy into practice, meant to engage practitioners in the then-emerging Learning and Skills Council (LSC) sustainable development strategy, and to discuss how to implement ESD policies in the UK. In addition, NIACE, DEA and WEA launched an Education for Sustainable Development E-group and practitioner network that provides resources, information, and discussions on ESD in the adult and further education sector.  The E-Group is comprised of learning practitioners focusing on educational responses to issues such as global citizenship, social justice, sustainable development, equality and diversity, human rights and conflict resolution.   Learning Skills Network (LSN)   The Learning and Skills Network (LSN, formerly the Learning and Skills Development Agency), provides services to policy-makers, organizations that fund, manage and provide education, and to individual providers and practitioners across education and training. In 2006, in partnership with the London Sustainability exchange, LSN published the report Sustainable Development in London’s Further Education and Sixth Form Colleges: Good practice and recommendations for further action. A nine-month research study, it surveyed further education and sixth form colleges to gauge the extent to which sustainable development was being promoted, and which strategies and practices were being successfully used. Key outputs on the LSC strategy and LSDA’s response are available on the LSN website.
