Adult Learners Week this week

The importance of adult and community education, especially in our regional and rural communities, is being highlighted this Adult Learners Week.

It comes as figures show more than 3 million Australians aged 15 to 74 (16%) are currently involved in adult learning, with some 30% studying at adult education or training institutions.

Federal Minister for Skills and Training, Andrew Giles, says there are a variety of ways locals can engage with adult learning, in both formal and informal settings.

Adult Learners Week runs September 1^st – 8^th, 2025, celebrating it’s 30th anniversary.
