Impacts of the Global Reports on Adult Learning and Education (GRALE) on Adult Education Policies
Öz
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Institute for Lifelong Learning has been publishing the Global Report on Adult Learning and Education (GRALE) every three years since 2009. These reports provide comprehensive analyses of adult education policies, governance, budget allocation, participation, and quality across United Nations member states, offering a global perspective on adult learning and education. In this study, all GRALE reports published to date were examined, their content analyzed, and their reflections on adult learning and education policies in Turkey were evaluated. The findings indicate that the GRALE reports are significant as they present a comprehensive overview of adult learning and education on a global scale and encourage the development of policies and institutional frameworks in the field of adult education. However, the lack of standardized policies on lifelong learning and adult education among countries reduces the validity and reliability of the evaluations presented in the GRALE reports. The issues addressed in the reports are also found to be prevalent in adult learning and education efforts in Turkey, with the persistent problem of inequalities in education for women, migrants, and the elderly being particularly emphasized. In this context, it is foreseen that there is a need for initiatives specifically planned for women and other disadvantaged groups. Moreover, adult education has the potential to address unemployment challenges that may arise due to advancements in artificial intelligence, enabling individuals to acquire new skills. By doing so, it can support workforce transformation and play an active role in mitigating job losses.
