Abstract:
This study aims to explore the influence of socio-economic factors on adult education participation, focusing on the barriers and facilitators experienced by individuals from different socio-economic backgrounds. The research seeks to shed light on the complex interplay between socio-economic status and adult education, providing valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and practitioners. By examining the various factors that hinder or promote adult education participation, this study aims to contribute to the development of effective strategies and interventions to enhance educational opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their socio-economic background.
