The bar chart shows the various reasons for adults to study. The two largest reasons for adult education are having interest in the subject and gaining qualifications. Each of the two reasons is cited by around 40% of the population surveyed. Next, some people, 22%, also cite that their study is helpful for their jobs. Almost the same percentage of the population believe in the possibility of promotion and enjoy learning processes. Just a few number of people, around 12%, study because they want to change their jobs or to meet people.

The second chart shows the opinions as to how the cost of each course should be divided. 40% of the people cite it should be paid by individuals. A slightly smaller percentage, 35%, of the population says the cost should be supported by employers. The last group, 25%, believes it should be shared among taxpayers.
