Kāda ir ES loma pieaugušo izglītībā?
Kā ES atbalsta cilvēkus un dažādus projektus pieaugušo izglītības nozarē?
Ir daudz veidu, kā ES atbalsta pieaugušo izglītības nozari Eiropā - sākot ar pētniecības projektu pasūtīšanu un labās prakses pieredzes apmaiņu un beidzot ar inovāciju veicināšanu un personu kvalifikācijas paaugstināšanas finansēšanu.
To help build a more robust and effective adult learning sector, the European Commission is investing in EPALE – an electronic platform for adult learning professionals: teachers, policy makers, researchers, academics, training providers – anyone working in the adult learning sector. EPALE aims to bring all these people together and build a vibrant adult learning community.
Widely recognised as the most successful EU programme, Erasmus+ has around 5% of its total budget available to support:
- Learning mobility for adult education staff;
- International cooperation between organisations (e.g. adult learning centres);
- Initiatives for policy innovation (e.g. networks supporting specific policy areas, like literacy a nd adult learning).

Padomes rezolūcija par stratēģisku plānu Eiropas sadarbībai izglītības un apmācības jomā attiecībā uz Eiropas izglītības telpu un ārpus tās
Eiropas Prasmju programma par prioritāti izvirza pieaugušo kvalifikācijas paaugstināšanu un pārkvalificēšanos. Tēmas iekļauj dzīves prasmes, dažādu iespēju nodrošināšanu (izmantojot individuālus finansēšanas mehānismus) un vērienīgus mērķus pieaugušo iesaistīšanai mūžizglītības nozarē.
“Digitālās izglītības rīcības plāns” 2021. –2027. gadam paredzēts, lai paplašinātu darbības jomu, aptverot neformālo izglītību un mūžizglītību, bet galveno uzmanību pievēršot digitālajai kompetencei un iestāžu digitālajai kapacitātei gan izglītojamajiem, gan profesionāļiem.

Member States outlined their measures to implement Upskilling Pathways.
EAAL is part of the 'ET2020' framework for European cooperation in education and training. The ET2020 working group on adult learning 2016 - 2018 undertakes peer learning on policies that can encourage more adults to learn in the workplace.
On 19 December the Council adopts the recommendation Upskilling Pathways - New opportunities for adults. This aims to help Europe's 64 million adults who do not yet have an upper secondary qualification to acquire a minimum level of literacy, numeracy and digital skills and then progress towards an upper or lower secondary qualification.
The New Skills Agenda for Europe proposes that Member States adopt a Skills Guarantee to raise the level of adult basic skills.
The 2015-2020 priorities for EAAL are set:
- ensuring the coherence of adult learning with other policy areas
- increasing the supply and take-up of adult learning provision
- widening access through workplace-based learning, ICT and second-chance opportunities
- improving quality assurance, including initial and continuing education of adult educators.
The Council publishes a resolution on a renewed European Agenda on Adult Learning (EAAL), consolidating policy in the field of adult learning. This is the EU reference text on adult learning policy.
A key message of EAAL is that adult learning in all its forms boosts learners’ employability, and contributes to social inclusion, active citizenship and personal development. Increasing participation and enabling all adults to develop and renew their skills and competences throughout their lives are at the heart of the Agenda.
The Commission publishes the communication It is always a good time to learn. It includes an Action Plan on Adult Learning (2008-2010) that provides, for the first time, common priorities to be encouraged in the adult learning sector.
The Commission publishes the communication It is never too late to learn highlighting the essential contribution of adult learning to employability and mobility and to social inclusion.
The Council of the European Union publishes its Resolution on Lifelong Learning, highlighting the ‘cradle-to-grave’ principle of education and its provision in different environments.
The EU begins working on adult learning policy.
EU’s work on adult learning begins with the Treaty of Rome through which the European Community promoted basic and advanced vocational training.
