About This Publication

At first glance the 2004 NIACE survey of adult participation in learning offers few surprises – with almost all the lead indicators very close 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 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.
