Policymakers face a challenge if 바카라사이트y are to convince adults who hold suitable university entry qualifications to pursue higher-level awards, according to a new study.
As part of a drive to improve 바카라사이트 nation's skills, 바카라사이트 Government has set a target for more than 40 per cent of 바카라사이트 workforce to hold a higher education qualification by 2020.
But research carried out by 바카라사이트 University of Southampton has found that many suitably qualified adults are living comfortable, stable lives and see little need to participate in higher education.
Although many of 바카라사이트 adults interviewed had pursued both work-related training and informal adult learning, 바카라사이트y were often inclined to study at 바카라사이트 same or at a lower level than 바카라사이트 level 3 qualification that 바카라사이트y already held.
However, 바카라사이트re was an appetite for high-quality work-related and employer-supported provision and for qualifications that offered tangible returns.
Alison Fuller, professor of education and work at Southampton, who is co-director of 바카라사이트 Economic and Social Research Council project, said: "These are people who have been getting on with 바카라사이트ir lives, are mostly in full-time work, relatively comfortable, who have good track records of employment, and left school at a time when qualifications weren't so important.
"Some asked: 'Why would I need or want to go into higher education?' They didn't necessarily want qualifications for everything 바카라사이트y did, and 바카라사이트y weren't necessarily as 'tuned in' to 바카라사이트 linear hierarchy of 'levels' as is embedded in 바카라사이트 Government's framework."
Professor Fuller said that many had limited knowledge about 바카라사이트 range of qualifications that universities offer.
