Adult Learning. Influencing Factors

Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Pedagogy - Adult Education, , language: English, abstract: Demand for lifelong learning programs in higher education has increased dramatically in recent years, particularly those tailored for working adults. Adults (individuals 25 years of age and older) now make up 41 percent of higher education enrolment. Currently, the trend has changed to where adults not only think about the education of their wards but also theirs where they enroll in continuous education either full time, part time, distance or online learning.

Therefore, the main objective of this study is to examine the reasons why adults continue their education. Questionnaires were administered to the evening and weekend students of All Nations University College, Koforidua.
