Ukrainians aged 19 and over and their family members settled under the Home Office Ukraine schemes in the UK can access training to gain the skills they need to move on with their lives. This includes immediate eligibility for provision funded through the Adult Education Budget, including English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), and level 3 free courses for jobs offer.
Ukrainians aged 19 and above will be able to access adult education, including ESOL, by contacting their local authority or further education college directly. The college will be able to confirm what courses are available and when.
Additionally, the Open University has published a range of helpful resources for Ukrainian nationals arriving in the UK to learn English. More information can be found at: https://www.open.edu/openlearn/supporting-ukrainians.
The Office for Students has been delivering up to £4 million of additional support, as instructed by my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, to higher education (HE) providers in England to assist students from Ukraine whose financial means have been impacted by events in Ukraine.
The department is also working in close partnership with the Ukrainian Ministry of Education to facilitate entrance exams for Ukrainian nationals arriving in the UK who wish to continue their HE education in Ukrainian at their Ukrainian universities, remotely.
Ukrainians aged 16 to 19 living in the UK under the Ukraine Family Scheme, and under Homes for Ukraine scheme are eligible to enrol as a student in a 16-19 provider, including colleges. Providers may ask to see evidence of their eligibility. 16-19 study programmes can include ESOL courses or other English tuition, depending on the needs of the individual student.
