Abstract

Adult education comes in “all shapes and sizes” and is used by many social strata, it reflects any changes that are taking place in a society and is constantly changing to fit the demands of a changing world. The present article investigates impact of adult education on improving society. It discusses various types of adult education that are available and is answering the question whether the citizens most in need of training and upgrading their skills are indeed participating in adult education. The findings state that all types of adult education are accessed rather by more educated, motivated, younger and financially better off layers of society while poorer, uneducated, less motivated and older part of the population are left aboard. The solution to this problem is a flexible system of financial help to such people in the form of assistantships, scholarships, complete waivers of tuition and charitable sponsorship that is directly aimed at involving them in adult education.
