Study of the problematics of adult education, September – October 2009

Czech

Main aim of the study is to describe topical problems, trends and opportunities in the area of adult education within the context of LLL in the CR.

The outcomes of the research shows that both the professionals and general public do recognize the importance of adult education; professionals feel that there is a lack of state support to the system of LLL and that the system is less effective than in other countries. The offer of courses is quite broad, however the quality of courses is often uncertain and the offer is sometimes too confused. The biggest importance is usually felt in the area of information and communication technologies and foreign languages. The main motivation for further education is usually the fear of losing the job.
