Especially since lifelong learning is one of the current responsibilities of the Welsh Assembly.
Quote from the Welsh Assembly website:
"Lifelong learning creates better opportunities, empowers communities and helps to provide the jobs and skills that people need. Lifelong learning will help to bring a bright and sustainable future to the people of Wales."

Lifelong Learning is one of the Scottish Parliament's current initiatives as well, but there just isn't enough money going around to fund projects. Organisations are having to rely much more heavily on volunteers to do jobs that paid staff used to do.
