Many Adults Left Behind
http://librarian.lishost.org/?p=1095

A new analysis of state policies and enrollment patterns is trying to
put more focus on adult learners. “Adult Learning in Focus,” released
Friday by the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning, prepared
in collaboration with the National Center for Higher Education
Management Systems, argues that many state policies may discourage
those older than traditional college age from obtaining any higher
education. This group of students, the report argues, is particularly
in need of higher education to get good jobs, and these students´
states depend on having more highly trained workers.

The report is a mix of data showing the large share of the adult
population lacking any higher education degree, and information about
various policies that might encourage more degree attainment. Of
particular importance, the report notes, are policies that affect
community colleges and part-time students, as adult students are more
likely than their traditionally aged counterparts to enroll part
time, and to enroll in two-year institutions.
