This was a baseline study followed by repeat surveys in 2000, 2001 and 2002. The NALS series is used by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) to monitor the effectiveness of their adult learning policies and progress in meeting the National Learning Target for adult participation, which aims to reduce the proportion of non-learners found in 1997 by seven per cent, that is, to reduce this group from 26 to 24 per cent by 2002. The survey involves interviewing up to two adults in a household to ask about any learning they have been involved in over the previous three years. A fairly broad definition of learning is used, covering informal and leisure learning as well as courses leading to qualifications. Both taught and self-directed learning are covered by the survey. Information about educational qualifications as well as standard demographic information are also collected. The first survey in the series, NALS 1997 is held at the UK Data Archive under SN:3815, and was conducted by the National Centre for Social Research under its former name, Social and Community Planning Research (SCPR). The second survey, NALS 2000, conducted by Ipsos-RSL, is held under SN:4578. The third survey, NALS 2002, conducted by the National Centre for Social Research is held under SN:4455. Main Topics: The dataset includes the following information: all were asked their experience of full time continuous education and highest qualification achieved; screening for taught learning; screening for self-directed learning; details of 'other' self-directed learning; information and advice about learning; future learning and knowledge about learning initiatives; use of computer and internet; basic skills (all without basic qualifications); family learning (all with children aged 3-18); attitudinal questions; further demographics and re-contact. All with taught learning were asked for summary of all courses; mode of learning and use of computers for learning; motivation for doing learning and advice/information received; problems and outcomes.
