Adults� Educational Needs and Continuous Professional Development

Abstract

In order to decide on an education necessity, one has to answer the question �What and who do we organize a certain educational process or system for and why do we organize it in a certain way and not otherwise?�. In order to decide on an education necessity one must also answer the question �What social problems does the educational process or system we devised solve?�. The problem of permanent vocational training is important in sustaining the vocational conversion of the working class. A change of views and mentality is desirable regarding vocational training, in the sense that people need to be more aware of the importance of permanent learning, more motivated in order to broaden their horizon and more willing to develop their professional skills.
