The National Adult Learning Survey (NALS) involved 5 653 interviews undertaken with a representative sample of adults aged 16-69 in England and Wales in 1997. It collected information from respondents about taught learning and self-directed learning over the previous three years or since leaving continuous full-time education, whichever was the most recent. This report details the findings of the survey, including a profile of the respondents, analysis of key characteristics used in predicting participation in learning, information about the taught and non-taught learning, and a comparison of the attitudes of the learners and non-learners. A technical report on the methodology and development of the survey instruments, and the questionnaires used in the survey, are given in the appendices.
