Teen Talk Magazine has recently interviewed Dr Ha, a sociologist at a local university. Here is what he shared with us. Dr Ha, what do you think about education for adults? According to UNESCO's Institute of Statistics, there are about 770 million illiterate adults globally. And even many more don't have the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the 21
century. It's true that more and more people are participating in adult education in some places, however, learning opportunities are still beyond the reach of many others. So, why is adult education important? As we all know, the world is changing rapidly and constantly, and everybody must be ready to change with it, otherwise, they will be left behind. This means making the effort to learn about society and all the technological, scientific, and social advancements happening today. Lifelong learning is also important for personal and professional growth. Yes, I agree. But how can school dropouts get access to adult education? Well, in fact, it's a big challenge for them. Going back to school after dropping out is not easy, especially when people have to work to support their families or take care of young children or sick family members. At present, those who need adult education the most, such as women, disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, rural populations, and older citizens, still have limited access to learning opportunities. A recent UNESCO report has revealed some worrying statistics. About 60% of countries reported no improvement in participation by people with disabilities, migrants, or prisoners. In addition, 24% of countries reported that the participation of rural populations had declined. And participation of older adults had also decreased in 24% of the 159 surveyed countries. How about adult education in Viet Nam? Is our country facing similar challenges? Yes, but we have actually made some progress in promoting the education of rural workers ar increasing our community learning centres. Our government has also invested more in adult learning ar education. I strongly believe this investment will not only help improve the quality of adult classes b also give all people the same access to educational services and experiences.
