Each year, EAEA conducts a country reports survey among its members. Based on the answers, we have put together graphs which allow website users to see the development of adult education over the years.

The answers regarding the adult education situation reflect the views of our member organisations, so they are not based on scientific research. When asking the governmental representatives of the country, the answer may also be different. The situation in different countries cannot be compared based on this data. In addition, we are presenting participation data from Eurostat's annual Labour Force Survey, which is conducted annually, and the Adult Education Survey, which is conducted every 5 years.

EAEA members' view on adult education situation

EAEA's members have replied to the question "how do you see the adult education situation in your country?" and presented with five options: It has significantly deteriorated, it has slightly deteriorated, it has stayed the same, it has slightly improved, it has significantly improved. They have also replied to a variety of questions: from the funding and participatory situation in their country to the alignment with PIAAC results. In this new edition 2024/2025, members reflect on their relationship with AI and their vision on skills.

Participation in adult education
