À la demande de Luc Chatel, ministre de l'Éducation nationale, porte-parole du Gouvernement, un groupe de travail a été installé en 2009 afin de faire des propositions concernant les conditions et les modalités de la gouvernance de la formation continue à l'Éducation nationale ainsi que sur le statut et les missions des conseillers en formation continue (CFC).
Placé sous la responsabilité conjointe du secrétaire général et du directeur général de l'enseignement scolaire, ce groupe de travail a remis ses conclusions au ministre.
Il propose notamment de:
* réaffirmer la mission de formation continue des adultes de l'Éducation nationale,
* renforcer le pilotage de la formation continue aux plans national et académique en vue de lui conférer une lisibilité et une efficacité plus grandes et doter les GRETA (groupement d'établissements scolaires réalisant des opérations de formation continue) du statut juridique de groupement d'intérêt public (GIP),
* faire évoluer le statut des conseillers en formation continue.
Prenant acte de ces préconisations, le ministre demande au directeur général de l'enseignement scolaire et au secrétaire général du ministère d'engager des concertations avec les organisations représentatives des personnels sur la base des conclusions du rapport, avant la fin du mois de septembre 2010.
À l'issue de cette phase de consultations, les décisions visant à faire évoluer le réseau de la formation continue des adultes de l'Éducation nationale seront prises par le ministre.

Adult Learning Australia (ALA) is the national peak body representing organisations and individuals in the adult learning field.
We are a not-for-profit entity with both organizational and individual members in all States and Territories who reflect the extraordinary diversity of adult and community learning. They include adult educators in universities, TAFE Colleges, Community Houses and adult community education providers (ACE), as well as community workers, librarians, individual tutors and trainers, volunteers and students.
ALA also has input to the MCEETYA Taskforce and the Australian Quality Framework Advisory Board (AQFAB). The national office is based in Canberra.
ALA is primarily funded (as of 1ST July 2005) by a grant from the Department of Education Science and Training (DEST), membership dues, subscriptions and project revenues. In 2006, we celebrate our 46th year as a contributor to the adult learning debate in Australia and the 11th anniversary of Adult Learners' Week celebrations.
An immediate objective is to extend our reach to workplaces in both the government and the business communities, as well as to advance awareness of the contribution to social, human and identity capital made by lifelong learning and the way these values interact and contribute to community and organisational learning.
Linked with this, ALA also has a strong interest in the contribution learning makes to active ageing in the community, and particularly where focused high quality research can positively support the retention of an ageing workforce as well as contribute to the quality of an ageing lifestyle.
