British Ministers Voices about importance of ESOL:-
The Education Minister Bill Rammell said. "The promotion (ESOL-Skills for Life in the UK) of community cohesion should be given highest priority”.
“Because it is so important, we are spending around £ 300 million a year investing in English For Speakers of Other Languages-ESOL provision.”- John Denham, Minister of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills-UK.
Another interesting thing is that the British Govt. capped spending £10 Billion per year to fostering the ESOL-Skills for Life in the UK while over 7 million adults in Britain have difficulties with literacy and numeracy. It is estimated that around one million of these adults have a first language other than English.

IELTS is a test jointly managed by the University of Cambridge-ESOL Examinations, British Council and IDP Education Australia. This test is accepted by 1300 Universities, Colleges, Institutions, Professional organizations in the United Kingdom, USA, EU, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, including the immigration departments of those countries. IELTS is only a test that provides an evaluation of English validated one/two years for those who wish to study or train in English abroad. Whereas ESOL certifications/Diplomas are not only a test, its validity runs for life time as this award is recognized world wide as DIPLOMA CERTIFICATION. This reason ESOL certifications/Diplomas would be accepted globally wider than IELTS.
