The Learning Revolution White Paper
The Learning Revolution White Paper, published in March 2009, described a broad vision for informal adult learning where government departments and public, private and third sector stakeholders from the arts, health, broadcasting, third sector, business and so on work together to achieve the vision.
The White Paper was informed by the results of an extensive consultation exercise that generated more than 5,500 responses from a huge variety of organisations and individuals. It underlined just how passionate people are about informal adult learning.

To achieve the commitments set out in the White Paper, BIS invested £30 million in 2009/10 to:
- help build a culture of learning
- increase access to learning for employees, disadvantaged groups and older people
- transform the way people learn through technology
- develop a new infrastructure for the delivery of informal adult learning
