	Learning and Skills Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Learning and Skills Council is an non-departmental public body of the Department for Education and Skills in the United Kingdom and is responsible for planning and funding further education (post-16 education and training other than higher education) in England.
		The LSC has headquarters in Coventry with 9 regional offices and 47 local offices.
		It is likely that this configuration is changed in late 2005 as part of the Agenda for Change programme resulting in more of a streamlined formation with more focus on the regional dimension with the loss of around 1300 jobs (500 from the Coventry HQ, the remainder from local offices).
