The percentage of young people aged 20-24 years who attained at least upper secondary education (i.e. with an education level ISCED 3-4 minimum) in 2003 was 90.7%. The percentage of the adult population (25-64 years old) that completed at least upper secondary education was 76.8% in 2003, and it is growing.
Women are better educated than men. The best educated are those employed in the area of education and public administration, while the unemployed are still less educated than those in employment. More than 17% of persons aged 25 to 64 were in some form of education or training in 2005.
Altogether, 98% of primary school leavers decide to continue their education immediately after primary education, and 84% of secondary school leavers go on to tertiary education. There are twice as many students in higher education as there were at the beginning of the nineties.
Life-long learning is also increasing. Adults attend open universities, educational and study centres, schools and higher education establishments, as well as courses organised by companies, administrative bodies, organisations and societies. Adult programmes are organised within schools and outside them, education can be formal or informal, and there is also organised self-learning.
