ELWa was an Assembly Sponsored Public Body responsible for post-16 learning in Wales, active from 2000 to 2006. ELWa's functions are now exercised by the Assembly Government's Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills. ==Formation and activities== ''ELWa - Education and Learning Wales'' was the brand used by the National Council for Education and Training for Wales (NCETW), an Assembly Sponsored Public Body (ASPB) or quango established by the Learning and Skills Act 2000. NCETW merged the functions of the former Training and Enterprise Councils in Wales with the Further Education Funding Council for Wales. The organisation's remit was to plan and fund post-16 learning (excluding higher education) in Wales, including further education, publicly funded work-based training, adult community learning and school sixth forms. NCETW/ELWa's main statutory responsibilities were to: * Secure the provision of facilities for post-16 education and training in Wales (with the exception of higher education (covered by the other ELWa partner, Higher Education Funding Council for Wales); * Encourage young people and adults to participate in learning; and * Encourage employers to participate in, and contribute to the costs of, post-16 education and training. The Welsh Assembly Government treated ELWa as a single entity although it was not constituted as one. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Education and Learning Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
