ACQUIRING OF ADULT BASIC SKILLS - EXPERIENCE IN EUROPE

Ivana Ramić ; Agency for Vocational Education and Training and Adult Education

Abstract

In the first decade in this century the issue of basic skills has been
to the forefront of education and training discourse at European level. In Croatia the basic skills provision mainly implies a focus on elementary education of adults. This article describes the acquiring of adult basic skills in Croatia and five European countries. The term “basic skills” is not universally used in all European countries, and the examples show that in some countries the training for basic skills is not the same as elementary education for adults.

Keywords
