WEA Mission Statement
The Workers' Educational Association exists primarily to provide adults with access to experience of organised learning which develops intellectual understanding, confidence and social and collective responsibility. Particular features of its approach to the provision of learning opportunities for adults include:
- Valuing and making use of students' life experience
- Involving students in organising provision and planning their own learning
- Targeting students who have benefited least from the education system and from opportunities for further and higher education
- Collaborating with other organisations and agencies to meet the needs of adult learners for educational guidance, equal access to provision, and for relevant, progressive and accredited learning opportunities
- Offering high quality learning experiences underpinned by regular monitoring and evaluation of the programme
- Providing staff development opportunities for professional staff and training for voluntary members
Promoting and supporting the voluntary movement by which the association governs itself and decides its future strategy.
