"We felt that the approach to the theme was well planned with all aspects of the programme covered. These were:
• education system and education policy in Finland
• financing adult education
• developing curricula and contents
• competence-based qualification system
• apprenticeship training and on-the-job learning
• in-company training
• labour market training
• co-operation between working life and education providers
• role of the social partners"
"The visits to individual organisations were very relevant to help us to understand the application of the policies that we learnt about on the first day. We felt that the input on the first day helped to put the rest of the week into the right context."
"It was good to have a set time and venue every day for group discussion. We also were able to discuss issues informally at other times."
"For sure Finland has to be regarded as a "best practice" in adult education: the commitment of government and municipalities, the high public investment, the high participation rate, the flexible Competence-based Qualification System aiming at increasing mobility on the labour market makes the Finnish system of adult education to one of the outstanding systems in Europe."
