This year's survey of adult participation in learning tells a complicated tale. While participation has fallen since 2001, the data shows an overall trend of rising participation in the last six years, while also showing that progress has reinforced the gap between the learning-haves and the learning-have-nots. Adults in professional and managerial groups are more than twice as likely to learn as the poorest, least skilled and retired. The young participate in far greater numbers than the old, and those with jobs are more likely to have access to learning that those without. The survey suggests that there is a need for sustained policies to stimulate demand if we are to create a learning society for all.
Launched during Adult Learners' Week 2002, Two steps forward, one step back builds on NIACE's previous surveys of participation in adult learning (The Learning Divide, Sargant et al, 1997, NIACE, ISBN 1 86201 016 1, £20.00 and The Learning Divide Revisited, Sargant, 2000, NIACE, ISBN 1 86201 088 9, £22.95; Winners and losers in an expanding system, Aldridge and Tuckett, 2001, NIACE, ISBN 1 86201 125 7, £6.00)
