This study compares adult education systems in Sweden and Eritrea using a qualitative method based on document analysis. The research fills a gap in the literature by examining the similarities and differences in adult education policies of the two nations. The researcher will look for information on the purposes, legal bases and providers of adult education in Sweden and Eritrea before coming up with an explanation of the parallels and differences he discovered throughout his research. The study covers basic and upper secondary levels of adult education and uses relevant laws, regulations, legislation, and publications. The findings show that adult education is primarily used to foster civic competence, employable skills, and environmental awareness in both countries. However, there are differences between the two nations, such as Sweden's unique non-formal program called popular adult education and Eritrea's focus on literacy and life skills (Integrated functional adult education). Despite these differences, both countries view adult education as essential for fostering a democratic political culture.
