Adults in formal education

Policies and practice in Europe

This report has been prepared in direct response to the Action Plan on Adult Learning 'It is always a good time to learn' (European Commission, 2007), and more specifically, to its stated objective of increasing the opportunities for adults to achieve a qualification at least one level higher than they previously held. The document focuses on the opportunities for under-qualified adults to complete basic education or achieve an upper secondary qualification, and it also covers measures that might contribute to widening access to higher education for adults returning to the formal education system
