Executive summary: Adult community Education (ACE) is a recognisable education sector that offers accessible lifelong learning opportunities that are learnercentred and needs based.
The Australian ACE scan profiles the sector in terms of its programs, features and provider types. The scan outlines ACE program participants, outcomes and the policy areas they support. It also explores the challenges facing the sector in terms of sustainability. This scan builds on the work completed in Adult Learning Australia’s previous ACE scans (2014; 2015; 2016a; 2017).
Comprehensive analysis of ACE is impacted by the lack of complete data on all of the work that ACE does. However, this report provides a contemporary profile of the sector through desktop research and analysis of existing data.
