By using an interview survey of 30 randomly selected
residents of Port Lincoln and the same number of persons from a
country section of the Eyre Peninsula Community College region,
an attempt has been made to ascertain profiles of participants
and non-participants in adult education along with reasons for
non-participation. It was assumed that lack of awareness of
educational provision would be a major barrier to access and
so a significant part of the study was addressed to this
aspect.
The town of Port Lincoln was considered separately from
the rest of the Region because of the assumption that access
and awareness were likely to be at a lower level amongst those
persons in the more remote areas of the region.
Assumptions that underpinned the proposal were: that
Technical and Further Education was important, that
community awareness of T.A.F.E. was therefore desirable and
that barriers existed that precluded a significant section
of the community participating in these activities.
