Adult Education in Liechtenstein can be divided into two parts. The non-formal sector offers courses that vary from social sciences to personal growth and the vocational sector focuses on the up and reskilling of adults for the labour market. A voucher system is contributing to making adult learning and education more accessible in Lichtenstein.

According to EAEA’s member, the country reports of the European Commission reflect the adult education situation of ALE in Liechtenstein very well. Moreover, the adult education programmes and projects in Liechtenstein aim to address issues indicated in the country reports.Financing adult education
In Liechtenstein, adult education is mainly funded through project and programme funding, operating grants and vouchers. According to EAEA’s member, the funding situation of adult education in Liechtenstein has stayed the same in comparison to last year.CONFINTEA VII
Civil society from Liechtenstein was involved in the preparatory process of the CONFINTEA conference. The foundation sees CONFINTEA as an important process from a civil society perspective and a concrete tool to develop adult education, but it is not sufficiently taken into account in national policymaking.Sustainability
The foundation would like to develop a strategy to promote sustainability at operational level and in their work procedures, but finds it difficult to start. Overall, there is still potential for further implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in the ALE sector in Liechtenstein.Current plans
As national coordinator of the European Agenda for Adult Education, the foundation will facilitate an EU project to implement the agenda. Moreover, the foundation’s focus areas are lifelong learning, basic skills, and digitalisation.Policy recommendation
Stiftung Erwachsenenbildung would like the government of Liechtenstein to raise awareness of the importance of lifelong learning and provide the necessary financial resources for adult education.
