The WEA’s priority is to reach people who face barriers to learning.

Run courses for adults who wish to return to education to pick up skills or knowledge not learned during school years
Run courses for men and women who wish to continue learning throughout life
Run courses for collective bodies and groups such as trade unions, community and voluntary organisations who wish to put education to social use
Particular attention is given to the needs of adults who have experienced barriers to learning as a result of economic circumstances, social isolation, limited confidence, low self esteem or lack of educational opportunity.
