From 14.11.2016, the National Statistics Institute is launching monitoring “Survey on education and training of the population aged 18-69 years”. The survey is conducted every 5 years in all Member States of the EU with a common methodology and through a harmonized questionnaire in accordance with Regulation (EU) № 1175/2014 of the Commission of 30 October 2014. The interviewing will be conducted until Mid-January 2017 as specially trained interviewers will visit 4 812 normal households, distributed in all districts of the country.

The study has the main objective to establish the degree of participation of individuals in learning activities defined as formal education and training (in the formal education system), non-formal education (courses, private lessons, training seminars, etc.) and in various forms of informal learning. The resulting data will be used to support the process of evaluation of the policies pursued in the field of Lifelong learning in Bulgaria and in the European Union.

We thank in advance to the persons in the sample for cooperation and for their contribution in assessing the level of Lifelong learning in Bulgaria and the European Union!
