Women in adult education in contemporary society

A gender-based approach to adult education, fragmented by dif-ferent modalities, concepts and contexts, can and does point to a gap between the obstacles men and women face. This paper analyzes the position of women in adult education. The research results suggest different obstacles to the education of adult women, which are institu- tional, content and family-oriented. Although these obstacles are not explicitly visible, the participants believe that male culture dominates in the implementation and valorisation of the educational process and family responsibilities interfere with their obligations in the educa- tional process. Nevertheless, the participants define education as a powerful means of empowerment that makes women competitive in the (male) labour market.
