Basic Skills Agency Website

The BSA is the national agency for basic skills in England and Wales and is supported by the Government. This site contains information about the Agency, along with basic skills news and events and details of programmes on offer.

We're a small, quick response, independent organisation, working at arms length from our funders the Department for Education and Skills and the Welsh Assembly Government. We're not-for-profit and a charity. We're a national ideas and innovation organisation, focusing on finding practice worth sharing and disseminating it effectively. As an independent organisation we're a critical friend of Government and we don't shy away from making our views known even when they are critical of existing policies and strategies. We play a particularly important role in Wales where we're responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Welsh Assembly Government's National Basic Skills Strategy for Wales. Currently, our priorities are: Improving the speaking and listening skills of children, young people and adults; Improving basic skills at transition points in a child's, young person's or adult's life; Engaging disengaged children, young people and adults in improving basic skills.
