An interview with a sociologist

Teen Talk Magazine has recently interviewed Dr Ha, a sociologist at a local university. Here is what he shared with us.

Dr Ha, what do you think about education for adults?

Well, you see, according to UNESCO's Institute of Statistics, at present, there are about 770 million illiterate adults globally. And even many more don't have the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the 21st century. It's true that more and more people are participating in adult education in some places, however, learning opportunities are still beyond the reach of many others.

So, why is adult education important?

As we all know, the world is changing rapidly and constantly, and everybody must be ready to change with it, otherwise they will be left behind. This means making the effort to learn about society and all the technological, scientific, and social advancements happening today. Lifelong learning is also important for personal and professional growth. For example, encouraging employees to continue their education and learn new skills will bring individual fulfilment and economic prosperity. Nowadays, education is no longer limited to a single period of one's lifetime. By taking adult classes, people will make sure that their mind stays active and their creativity increases. Adult education is also here to provide a second chance for people who leave school at a young age.

Yes, I agree. But how can school dropouts get access to adult education?

Well, in fact, it's a big challenge for them. Going back to school after dropping out is not easy, especially when people have to work to support their families or take care of young children or sick family members. At present, those who need adult education the most, such as women, disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, rural populations, and older citizens, still have limited access to learning opportunities. A recent UNESCO's report has revealed some worrying statistics. About 60% of countries reported no improvement in participation by people with disabilities, migrants, or prisoners. In addition, 24% of countries reported that the participation of rural populations had declined. And participation of older adults had also decreased in 24% of the 159 surveyed countries.

How about adult education in Viet Nam? Is our country facing similar challenges?

Yes, but we have actually made some progress in promoting education of rural workers and increasing our community learning centres. Our government has also invested more in adult learning and education. I strongly believe this investment will not only help improve the quality of adult classes, but also give all people the same access to educational services and experiences.

1. What is the interview about?

A. Challenges and issues in adult education.

B. Courses covered in adult education.

C. People who benefit from adult education.

D.Challenges for school dropouts,

2. What does 770 million refer to?

A. The number of adult learners who lack 21st century skills.

B. The number of adults in the world who don't know how to read or write.

C. The available learning opportunities for all.

D. The number of people participating in adult education.

3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for keeping learning throughout a person's life?

A. Individual fulfilment.
