<p>My officials have not discussed the Confederation of British Industry’s (CBI) education
and skills annual report with the CBI. We are aware of the need to deliver a national
policy that is effective and delivers the cultural change in adult skills that is
needed. That is why the National Retraining Scheme is being driven by a key partnership
between the CBI, Trade Union Congress and government who are working together to develop
a national policy that will genuinely make a difference.</p><p>We have also recently
published findings from our Employer Skills Survey, which interviewed over 87,000
employers about their skills needs and challenges: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/employer-skills-survey-2017-uk-report"

The survey findings will inform various Department for Education policies including
the science, technology, engineering and mathematics strategy.</p>
