In 2025, the percentage of adults in the European Union who received any type of education rose to 13.7%, according to data released by Eurostat. This value represents significant growth compared to the 10.1% recorded in 2015, showing a growing trend in adult participation in educational activities over the past decade.
Portugal positions itself above the European average, with a rate of 16.4% of adults involved in education. This value places the country among the Member States with the highest rate of adult participation in training.
The data was published today by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, which regularly monitors education and training indicators in the Member States. The increase observed over ten years reflects a joint effort at European level to promote lifelong learning.
