Adult perseverance in the context of basic adult education
More adults with low level education pursue their studies in adult education centers. In this context, several challenges of school perseverance appear. Our descriptive-interpretative research tries to better understand intrapersonal, interpersonal and institutional dimensions that influence the school perseverance of those adults. Our paper draws up a portrait of sixty-five adults. Their past and present school experiences, their contemporary life situations and their projects for the future show they accord great value to studies. They also believe that they will succeed at school because of their personal resources and because of pedagogical resources existing in their adult education centers.
