Learning through life: a 2009 study of older people with literacy difficulties in Ireland

This qualitative study examined the attitudes and experiences of older people with literacy needs who do not engage with adult literacy services. The study explored with the older people any education and service needs they may have and identify any significant barriers that impede their return to education, should they choose to do so.
