The Education Committee publishes its report on Prison education on Wednesday 18th May. The embargo on the report will be lifted for media publication on Tuesday 17th May at 10pm.
The report is the culmination of the Committee’s inquiry into the current arrangements for educating adult prisoners. The inquiry was concerned with how effectively learners are supported in prisons and how well prison education delivers the skills needed by employers. The Committee heard from educational leaders, charities, business leaders, ministers, and ex-prisoners.
