„In most European countries, unemployed or inactive adults and those with low educational levels still have very low rates of participation in all forms of learning. […] Ireland, France, the Netherlands and Finland recorded high participation rates in formal and non-formal learning among adults with a low level of education, the unemployed and inactive, and older adults due to a deep-rooted tradition of adult education in the formal system and the presence of well-developed lifelong learning systems, supporting re-entry into formal education and training, including in adult life, and a wide application of validation and RPL systems.“
