CHAPTER 3. 

Perceptions: benefits

The survey shows that the provision of adult learning and continuing vocational 
education and training (CVET) in Member States has a positive image and is 
seen as bringing benefits to individuals, the economy and society. 

This  chapter  discusses  the  extent  to  which  adult  learning  and 
CVET  in  Member  States  is  perceived  to  bring  employment-related  and 
personal benefits.

Member  States’  provision  of  adult  education  and  CVET  is  seen  as 
influential  in  supporting  different  aspects  of  career  progression,  including 
finding  a  new  job  and  obtaining  better  incomes  and,  more  generally,  in 
reducing  unemployment.  Adult  education  and  CVET  are  also  regarded  as 
important for personal development and further educational attainment. 

In  all  Member  States,  people  see  adult  learning  and  CVET  as  being  of 
greater benefit to employment-related and personal issues than to education. 
Adult learning and CVET are not regarded as important as school or university 
education, or immediately seen as a route to obtaining a traditional university 
or college degree. 

Overall, the quality of provision in Member States is regarded as good. 
However,  there  are  differences  between  Member  States  and  the  survey 
indicates some room for improvement. 

3.1.  Career progression and reducing 

unemployment

Agreement is widespread that adult learning and CVET provision in Member 
States  is  important  to  career  progression  (Figure  7).  In  22  countries,  at 
least half of respondents totally agree, particularly in Malta (81%), Romania 
(75%), Greece (74%) and Cyprus (72%). Italy registers the highest level of 
disagreement (18%), followed by Croatia (13%) and Slovakia (12%). 

In  14  countries,  more  than  half  of  respondents  totally  agree  that  adult 
learning and CVET can be a route to a better income (Figure 8), particularly 
in Malta (78%), Romania (74%) and Bulgaria (65%).

Perceptions on adult learning and continuing vocational education and training in Europe 

Some 91% of all respondents agree, including 55% who totally agree that 
adult learning and CVET are important when looking for a new job (Figure 9). 
Respondents are most likely to totally agree in Malta (78%), Romania (74%) 
and  Greece  (70%).  Most  respondents  are  least  likely  to  ‘totally  agree’  in 
Iceland (39%), Denmark (42%), Croatia (43%) and Iceland (39%). Denmark 
(13%) is the only country where more than one in 10 respondents disagree 
that adult learning and CVET are important when looking for a new job.

In 23 countries, at least half of respondents totally agree that adult learning 
and CVET are important for reducing unemployment (Figure 10). Respondents 
are most likely to totally agree in Malta and Romania (both 71%), Sweden (68%) 
and Norway (66%). Respondents are most likely to disagree in Italy (22%) and 
Greece (20%), countries with relatively high levels of unemployment (10).

3.1.1.  Work-related training and career progression
Some 84% of all respondents agree (44% totally agree) that organised work-
related activities are important for developing skills for any job (Figure 11). 
Respondents  totally  agree  notably  in  Malta  (72%),  Greece  (63%),  Norway 
(62%)  and  Romania  (58%).  Respondents  in  Estonia  and  Italy  (both  21%) 
register the highest levels of disagreement. 

3.2.  Personal development and educational 

attainment

3.2.1.  Personal development
Some 70% of all respondents totally agree that adult learning and CVET are 
important for personal development (Figure 12); the highest proportion for 
any perceived benefit in the survey. A further 26% agree that it is important.
In  every  country,  more  than  half  of  respondents  totally  agree  that  adult 
learning and CVET are important for personal development, notably in Malta 
(86%), Greece (82%) and Portugal (80%). Fewer totally agree in Croatia (57%) 
and Iceland (58%), but even in these two countries 94% of respondents at least 
agree that adult learning and CVET are important for personal development.

3.2.2.  Further educational attainment
Overall, respondents in Member States are less convinced that adult learning 
and CVET are as important as school or university education (Figure 13); only 
46% of respondents totally agree.

Equivalence between the two types of learning is highest in Malta, where 
73% of respondents totally agree, and in Romania (61%). Most respondents 
disagree  that  adult  learning  and  CVET  are  as  important  as  school  or 
university education in Estonia (29%), Croatia (23%) and Slovenia (22%).

Some 32% of respondents totally agree that adult learning and CVET are 
a way to obtain the equivalent of a traditional college or university degree. 
A further 41% agree (Figure 14).

Malta  (61%)  is  the  one  country  where  more  than  half  of  respondents 
totally  agree,  with  relatively  high  proportions  in  Romania  (50%),  Ireland 
(45%), Cyprus (44%) and Greece (42%). Respondents in Estonia are most 
likely  to  disagree  (48%),  followed  by  those  in  Italy  (42%).  Low  results  in 
some countries may indicate a preference for formal degrees due to cultural 
practices and societal norms. 

Less than half of respondents (44%) totally agree that adult learning and 
CVET are important primarily for adults who do not already have a degree 
(Figure 15). 

In  11  countries,  more  than  half  of  respondents  totally  agree,  notably 
Greece  (68%),  Malta  and  Romania  (both  65%)  and  Cyprus  (64%).  Some 
22% of all respondents disagree, mostly in the Netherlands (54%), Germany 
(40%), Czechia (39%) and Iceland (38%).

Some 73% of all respondents agree (32% totally agree, 41%; agree) that 
organised work-related training activities can be used to obtain qualifications 
recognised by the state; 21% disagree (Figure 16).

Respondents in Malta are most likely to totally agree (64%), followed by 
Romania (52%), Greece (46%) and Cyprus (44%). Disagreement is highest 
in Spain (30%), the Netherlands (29%) and Italy (27%).

Some 78% of respondents agree that there are many ways of obtaining 

a state-recognised degree as an adult; 15% disagree (Figure 17).

At least half of respondents totally agree in Malta (64%), Germany and 
Ireland  (51%).  Respondents  are  most  likely  to  disagree  in  Croatia  and 
Slovakia (both 24%) and Greece (23%).

3.3.  Quality

Most  respondents  (69%)  think  that  the  quality  of  adult  learning  and  CVET 
in their country is ‘good’ (11% very good and 58% fairly good) (Figure 18). 
Some 24% of respondents think that the quality is bad (5% very bad, 19% 
fairly bad).

 In all countries, respondents are more likely  to  describe  adult learning 
and CVET as good rather than bad, except in Italy where 43% say it is good 
and 48% bad. Very good ratings are highest in Malta (58%), Ireland (30%) 
and Austria (23%). As well as in Italy (48%), more than a third of respondents 
rate the quality of adult learning and CVET in their country as bad in Greece 
(40%) and Croatia (35%).

Among respondents who took part in organised training activities in the 
last year, most say the training was good (93%), including 39% ‘very good’ 
and 54% ‘fairly good’ (Figure 19). 

In all Member states, most respondents say that their recent organised 
training was ‘very’ or ‘fairly’ good. The proportion of ‘very good’ ratings is 
highest in Malta (60%), followed by Ireland (52%) and the UK (51%), Sweden 
(49%), Czechia (47%) and Slovenia (46%). In every country, fewer than 10% 
of respondents say their training was poor.
