Adult Education in England (A)
I cannot imagine a community without education. It is education that makes progress possible. And the more educated the people, the more advanced and civilized the society.
Not all people have access to education, though, for one reason or another. According to a recent survey, more men pursued further education in the early 1970s than women. 1,000, 000 men were involved in further education. In contrast, there were only 600,000 women in further education programs. In the early 1980s there was little difference in men's and women's further education chances. Ten years later, even more women received further education.
Looking more carefully at this survey, we find that 200,000 men studied full time (vs 80,000 women) in the 1970s. Then things changed and in the early 1990s more women studied full time.
There are and should be more people, men and women, adults and children, that are to be educated this way or that way. And there should be special schools for the old and the handicapped, as well as vocational schools.
