<p>The Government's strategy to better meet the needs of employers, learners and local
areas is to establish a skills system that is responsive to local economic needs.
For those combined authorities with signed devolution deals this means assuming responsibility
for the Adult Education Budget (AEB) in 2018/19, enabling them to commission outcomes
which deliver the skills needed locally. Devolution deals in the North of England
all include full devolution of AEB from 2018/19, enabling areas of the North to tackle
their local skills shortages.</p>
