This report investigates adult education and training across Europe, with a special focus on policies and measures supporting adults with low levels of basic skills and those with low or no qualifications. Alongside qualitative data covering 42 education and training systems, the report also presents statistical data from international surveys. It explores a range of interlinked areas, including national governance and policy frameworks; publicly subsidised adult learning provision; financial support and incentives; approaches to achieving flexible learning pathways; arrangements for the recognition and validation of non-formal and informal learning; and initiatives aimed at awareness-raising, educational outreach and guidance.
