NIACE adult participation in learning survey 2001
| 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 gaps
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 than 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.
