As part of their Adult Learners' Week in May the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE) conducted their annual survey of adult participation in learning. The survey - Narrowing Participation - shows that the proportion of adults currently learning, or having done so in the last three years, has risen by one per cent from 38 per cent in 2008 to 39 per cent in 2009.

This year CILT were able to include a number of questions within the survey on language learning. A report detailing the findings can be downloaded here. (pdf, 437kb)
