Study on Adult Learning and Education in Georgia

pandemic were added at short notice in response to the
Covid pandemic. The survey results answer a number of
questions, and provide information about the extent and
quality of adult learning. How are learning and attitudes
towards learning distributed in the adult population? Which
groups are involved, and to what extent? Are particular
forms of learning used by different groups? What role do
socio-economic conditions play, e.g. the employment
context or residence in rural or urban areas?

The qualitative country reports provide additional in-depth
information on the specific national context of the education
system, and on the location and promotion of ALE, gathered
in qualitative studies by a team of international and national
experts according to a standard outline. Together, the
two reports form an excellent basis for the participating
countries to assess the current situation against the
background of education policy objectives and to develop
political strategies for improving the ALE system.

Since the studies were carried out in four countries according
to a uniform scheme, the comparison offers additional
possibilities for classifying the respective national situation.
As such comprehensive analyses and studies and surveys
in the ALE sector were conducted for the first time in all the
countries involved in this project, we are confident that a
number of governmental and non-governmental institutions
and organisations in these four countries and beyond will
use the data and knowledge obtained.

We hope that these publications will provide a basis for
discussions on further policy development, and thus
contribute to the establishment of an evidence-based design
of the ALE systems in Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Georgia, and Kosovo.

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank
the members of the project working group, the authors, and
the research institutes, for their professional and fruitful
cooperation, and for the excellent results and achievements,
which were largely finalised in a difficult period during the
coronavirus pandemic.

We hope that you enjoy reading the reports!
