Seniors have, on average, relatively low levels of formal educational training.
In fact, the majority of today's seniors, over six out of ten, never completed high school. Partly as a result of their relative lack of formal educational experience, many seniors have difficulty reading written material. A substantial number of Canadian seniors, however, are currently back in school. In 1996, almost 20,000 were enrolled in some kind of formal educational program.
