Why adults return to school?
Original language description
Trying to maintain or improve their job skills or broaden their knowledge leads a growing number of people to acquire further knowledge and skills. The purpose of the presented study is to analyse the reasons why adults/employed people in the Czech Republic return to the education system (international comparison). The case study of the students of combined study program at the Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Králové, aimed to discuss their reasons and study conditions. The available resources and the investigation show that the main reasons why adults return to the education system is for an extension to their knowledge, improvement of their position in their existing job, chances of finding a better job or improve their position in the labour market, etc. The survey also suggests that a lot of students study without the knowledge of their employer. Education and skills development is one of the important conditions for the development of society in general. Qualified people have better employment and opportunities in the labour market and employers with a skilled workforce can have a competitive advantage in this area, this is important for both sides to realise.
