answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2019 answer text <p>On 16 May 2019, I wrote to all higher education institutions to urge them to consider adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. I set out my view that this is a useful tool, which will help front-line services better understand and recognise instances of antisemitism.</p><p> </p><p>The government believes that adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism sends a clear message that antisemitic behaviour will not be tolerated, and that any instances of antisemitism will be taken very seriously.</p><p> </p><p>Higher education providers are autonomous organisations who are independent from the government and individually responsible for deciding whether to adopt the IHRA definition and this information is therefore not held centrally.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 10/07/2019 12:59:10 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore previous answer version 127750 answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL16929
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2019 answer text <p>The National Retraining Scheme is part of the government’s response to the transforming world of work, where jobs are continually changing because of technological changes. This scheme targets adults whose jobs might be at risk from future changes to the economy, such as changes brought about by automation. It will offer them the support that they need to retrain into a better job.</p><p>For many adults, the lack of sound basic skills will be a significant barrier to being able to apply for most jobs and develop their careers. Without such skills, they may struggle to progress from low or unskilled roles.</p><p>That is why we also provide full funding for learners who need English and maths skills to undertake a range of courses in GCSEs, Functional Skills and stepping stone qualifications from entry level to level 2, and from 2020 selected essential digital skills courses will also be fully funded.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 12/07/2019 12:30:07 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
