One of the ways to solve the given problem is to take into account the positive experience of the other developed countries like England where adult education is one of the priorities of the governmental policy. The article is aimed at pointing out the strategic directions of contemporary reforms of adult education in England. Historical analysis of the development of adult education in England proved that state took a minimal part in its regulation. The first step to control the system became "The Education law" (1944) which created the unique national education system with adult education included. Adult education was regulated by two major bodies – central government (The Department of Education and Science) and local government (Local Education Authorities), where the latter took major responsibility. In 1980s the system started to fall down alongside with strengthening the control of the central government. So there were visual evidences that testify to the tendencies of a mixed model of adult education regulation or it is called decentralized centralization. Nowadays the national level of adult education system regulation includes the following bodies: Department for Business, Innovations and Skills, financing bodies – Skills Funding Agency and Higher Education Funding Council for England; inspection bodies –Office for Standards in Education and Quality Assurance Agency – UK-wide (higher adult education); consulting bodies –National Institute of Adult Continuing Learning, UK Commission for Employment and Skills. The responsibilities of the Local education authorities are limited today to school sector only. So we can conclude that today's system of adult education in England is regulated by the central governmental bodies and totally exclude the part of local authorities, and historical tradition of education decentralization has exhausted itself. So, the article resulted in revealing major directions of contemporary adult education reforms in England. In practice it allows to apply critically in national adult education reforms.
