NIACE adult participation in learning survey 2004
| At first glance the 2004 NIACE survey of
adult participation in learning offers few surprises - with almost all the
lead indicators close enough to last year’s totals. The temptation might
be to say ‘business as usual’ and move on. Take the trend since 1996,
however, and a more worrying picture emerges. This year’s total of adults
reporting that they are currently learning (19 per cent) is the lowest of
any year since 1996, and a statistically significant 4 per cent below the
1996 figure - before the current government came to power - and the
combined totals of current and recent learners show a sharp reverse of the
growth seen in the late 1990s. Click here for more information about Business as Usual, which reports on the headline findings of the 2004 survey Press release |
