Details

This report presents the results from the 2016 Adult Education Survey (AES), previously called the National Adult Learning Survey (NALS). It is a repeat survey and collects information on:

  • participation in formal, informal and non-formal learning
  • perceived barriers and incentives to learning
  • access to learning opportunities

The survey sampled adults in England, aged 19 and over, who were not in continuous full-time education, or who had returned to full-time education following a break of more than 2 years.
