The grant letter sets out the financial resources allocated to the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) in 2006-07 and the strategies and priorities which the Secretary of State for Education and Skills requires the LSC to pursue. The letter calls for continued close cooperation between the two organisations. Key priorities include: higher achievement of basic skills; changes to the delivery of training; meeting Public Service Agreement (PSA) targets for apprenticeships, the National Employer Training Programme and access to higher education; and access to education and training for disadvantaged adults. The letter also covers: funding for adult learning; 14-19 learning; skills, including Skills for Life, the Offender Learning and Skills Service, and collaboration with Sector Skills Councils; the LSC agenda for change; Success for All; financial and performance management; and equality and diversity.
