Read the following interview and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 30 to 34.
Teen Talk Magazine has recently interviewed Dr Ha, a sociologist at a local university. Here
is what he shared with us.
Dr Ha, what do you think about education for adults?
According to UNESCO's Institute of Statistics, there are about 770 million illiterate adults
globally. And even many more don't have the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the 21
century. It's true that more and more people are participating in adult education in some places,
however, learning opportunities are still beyond the reach of many others.
So, why is adult education important?
As we all know, the world is changing rapidly and constantly, and everybody must be ready to
change with it, otherwise, they will be left behind. This means making the effort to learn about
society and all the technological, scientific, and social advancements happening today. Lifelong
learning is also important for personal and professional growth.
Yes, I agree. But how can school dropouts get access to adult education?
Well, in fact, it's a big challenge for them. Going back to school after dropping out is not easy,
especially when people have to work to support their families or take care of young children or sick
family members. At present, those who need adult education the most, such as women,
disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, rural populations, and older citizens, still have limited access
to learning opportunities. A recent UNESCO report has revealed some worrying statistics. About
60% of countries reported no improvement in participation by people with disabilities, migrants, or
prisoners. In addition, 24% of countries reported that the participation of rural populations had
declined. And participation of older adults had also decreased in 24% of the 159 surveyed countries.
How about adult education in Viet Nam? Is our country facing similar challenges?
Yes, but we have actually made some progress in promoting the education of rural workers ar
increasing our community learning centres. Our government has also invested more in adult
learning ar education. I strongly believe this investment will not only help improve the quality of
adult classes b also give all people the same access to educational services and experiences.
