Adult education takes place in various types of training institutions
Schools (basic, upper secondary,
tertiary professional or other
educational institutions)
Higher education institutions
(HEls)
Non-profit organisations
Enterprises, institutions and state
administration bodies
Commercial educational
institutions
Retraining establishments
Schools primarily organise coherent adult education programmes, pro-
viding a certain level of education through other than full-time forms of
study. These programmes at upper secondary and tertiary professional
levels are mostly provided in fields for which full-time programmes also
exist. For those who have completed compulsory school attendance re-
quirements but have not completed basic education, both basic schools
and secondary schools can organise courses aimed at completing basic
education. All schools can also organise various continuing education
courses, including retraining, but they have to gain a special accredita-
tion. Adult education is also organised by basic art schools and language
schools authorised to organise state language examinations.
HEls provide adults with the opportunity to study in all types of study
programmes, either in the form of distance learning or combined
distance and full-time study. HEls provide lifelong learning courses
in addition to their regular study programmes. Courses can be offered
free or for a fee, and can be career-related or for personal development,
e.g. the University of the Third Age.
