Cover of "Green Shoots?"

This survey continues the series documenting adult participation in learning in the UK. Using responses of around 5,000 adults in the UK, it offers key findings, breaking down participation, trends in participation and future intentions to learn by gender, socio-economic class, age, employment and the regions. It provides up-to-date data as well as a valuable means for comparison over time.

For the first time, this year’s report includes information on adult learning in relation to occupational sector, and on public opinion as to who should pay for adult learning.
