“…In these interviews we sought to deepen our knowledge regarding non-participants in NFE by focusing on patterns of respondent interpretations, emotions, biographies and life conditions associated with NFE. Detailed results from this phase of the project are included in a manuscript currently submitted for publication (Karger et al, 2021).…”

Nonformal adult education (NFE) provides adults with the opportunity to obtain competences needed to adapt to today’s changing job market. Despite the well-documented positive effects of NFE, there remains a lack of valid research instruments to assess factors of nonparticipation. Specifically, defining the perspectives of social groups with the highest incidence of barriers and the lowest level of participation in NFE has not been a primary research goal. This study describes the development and initial validation of a novel research tool entitled the Nonparticipation in Nonformal Education Questionnaire (NP-NFE-Q). The analysis covers the use of the NP-NFE-Q on a representative sample of the adult population ( n = 878) as well as three additional cohorts: low-educated workers ( n = 227), persons caring for children under the age of three ( n = 227), and retired persons ( n = 232). The results consistently support the validation of a correlated five-factor model, which includes two situational, one institutional and two dispositional factors.

“…Similar trends are reflected globally due to the rising literacy figures and measurements of learning on various parameters in general (Grotlüschen at al., 2023;World Bank, 2022). However, the discrepancies in participation cannot be denied as the adult learning opportunities have not been offset proportionately in participation, thereby indicating an increasing Matthew Effect (Karger et al, 2022;OECD, 2020;Singh & Ehlers, 2024;Singh et al, 2022.…”

The paper aims at mapping the macro level transitions in global policies from adult education to lifelong learning, and hence the move beyond educational sectors towards lifelong learning ecosystems. Ehlers’ Box Model and policy frameworks are used to analyse policy documents from international organisations to highlight two transitions: first, from educational sectors to lifelong learning ecosystems; and second, from the sector of adult education to adult learning and education within the framework of lifelong learning. The paper argues that the transitions are inevitable due to resource considerations and provide enormous opportunities for learners, but these opportunities are not reflected in participation. The stakeholders engaged with adult education could therefore either facilitate the transitions, shape the emerging possibilities positively, and voice the concerns of the unheard learners, or resist the transition and perish due to lack of relevance, and thereby resources, in the long run.
