At least one third of learners must secure new or better jobs after rules were toughened up for a new £35 million adult skills programme.

The Greater London Authority (GLA) has raised the achievement bar from 20 per cent to 35 per cent for its latest London Talent Pathways programme, which is delivered mostly by independent training providers.

The move is part of a growing drive from government and devolved authorities to ensure publicly funded adult education is worth the investment.
