Adult learners at the University of Brighton in Hastings
Margaret Wallis, campus director for the University of Brighton in Hastings, said:
"Learning is something that can transform your life at any age or stage. If you had a bad time at school it might put you off learning forever. But our message is that returning to learning can be fun - as well as providing stepping stones to change your life for the better. It's never too late to start learning and now is your chance to take the first step."
Adult Learners' Week runs from May 12–18 and is the perfect opportunity for adults to have a free taste of learning with something to suit everyone.
