<p>The Digital Strategy published in March 2017 confirmed the government’s new entitlement
for adults who lack basic digital skills to undertake fully-funded training. This
provision was included in the Digital Economy Act 2017, which will mirror the approach
taken for adult literacy and numeracy training.</p><p> </p><p>We are working with
the further education sector, employers and other stakeholders to develop the details
of this new entitlement. My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State, will set out basic
digital qualifications for adult learners eligible for fully-funded training in due
course. In the interim, we will continue to support the provision of basic digital
skills training for adults in colleges and community learning centres across England
through the Adult Education Budget and other programmes.</p>
