Confidence in the Value of Education Has Fallen Among Adults Without Degrees Seriously Considering Additional Education
EIN News
For aspiring adult learners — those ages 25 to 44 who are seriously considering or planning to enroll in an education or training program, but have yet to do so — the pandemic appears to have shifted views on the value of additional education. The majority (59 percent) of aspiring adult learners believe additional education will be worth the cost and 64 percent believe it will get them a good job, but that’s down substantially from 77 percent and 89 percent, respectively, in 2019.
