About This Publication
The 2003 NIACE participation survey shows that, despite modest but steady progress in recent years, adult participation has fallen back to the levels of the mid-1990s.
Is this a minor blip in an upward trend or should this highlight cause for concern?
This survey continues the series documenting adult participation in learning in the UK. Using responses of 5000 people, this summary offers key findings, breaking down participation, trends in participation and future intentions to learn by gender, social class, age, employment and the regions. It provides up-to-date data as well as a valuable means for comparison over time
