🌏 England fares better than the OECD average in relation to literacy (15th out of 31), and worse in numeracy (19th).
More than 40% of unemployed adults in England have low basic skills.

🎭 Improved self-esteem and wellbeing
💼 Meeting the economic and employment needs of the country

With the help of a CAF Resilience grant, @RipeLearning could move its language and digital skills courses for refugees and migrants online.
The online lessons also helped to reduce loneliness and isolation among learners.
