“Adult learning, getting new knowledge, skills and competences is an essential component of the lifelong learning system and one of the priority areas of advocacy, analytical, educational, informational work of the LPW. It is so because it affects the competitiveness of the individual, ones chances for employment, protection of social rights and civil liberties. I believe that this study will become the basis for developing a national policy of adult education and learning in Ukraine with the participation of all interested parties, and can also be used during the legislative work of policy makers and public authorities in Ukraine” - emphasized Olena Lazorenko.
