Back To School

The children are back in school. You can be back there too, it’s never too late to learn.

We live in a knowledge-powered economy and if we're not continually upgrading our capabilities we become obsolete!. The good news is, the educational choices we make at eighteen don't need to be hard and fast choices we're stuck with for a lifetime. We now can choose to look at lifelong learning as the homework assignment that never goes away. Or, we can choose to look at it as an essential strategy for living long and living well!.

How are you upgrading your knowledge and abilities? There is always more to learn and we must all strive to master more or new skills.

Advantages of Adult Education

Many of us have great plans to do a night course. However, good intentions often fall by the wayside in the face of our many commitments. However, taking a class has many advantages:

• Satisfying your creative side or learning a new skill allows you to forget about everyday life for a while and concentrate on doing something for yourself.
• You are totally free to choose your own specialist subject - perhaps something you have always longed to do. Who knows what could happen when you take up the paintbrush/calculator/chainsaw for the first time?!

Night Courses in Ireland

The further education sector in Ireland is booming. With more and more people of all ages returning to education for a variety of reasons, it often seems like half of Ireland is taking some type of course. Aontas - the National Association of Adult Education - estimate that each year over 300,000 adults participate in education in Ireland. The Aontas statistics break down the 300,000 total into approximately 150,000 people in nightcourses or evening classes, 30,000 students enrolled in PLC programmes, 50,000 in community education schemes and the rest taking part in various programmes and distance learning courses.
