Education: More than one-third of adults in Great Britain have done little or no
continuing learning since leaving secondary school, according to the National
Institute of Adult Continuing Education. The report notes that “no significant
progress is being made to encourage those adults who left school earliest and
those who are amongst the poorest in society to engage in learning.” As a
result, fewer workers are pursuing education or training that could lead to
better jobs, the report says. In fact, “the proportion of adults in the U.K.
currently learning or having done so in the last three years has fallen to 41
percent.”
