GUIDANCE FOR LEARNING EDUCATIONAL GUIDANCE SUPPORT FOR ADULTS
As a young mother I had no qualifications,
no job, I was at home with my children, uncertain.
I didn’t know if I would ever get an education.
I couldn’t afford to pay tuition,
with two children, and a working husband, it’s harder.
You put everything into your children.
I’d almost given up hope of ever getting an education.
I worked in the Mura factory for more than 20 years.
But somehow you feel within yourself, that you have to do something in life.
My name is Aferdita Preshtreshi. I’m from Kosovo.
I was born in Pristina, I’ve been in Slovenia for 13 years.
In Kosovo I worked as a nurse, that’s my education.
I’d like to design custom jewellery, although that’s nothing to do with my education,
but they found it hidden within me, and that’s what I’d like to do.
I’m Pavel Novak, I’m from the Šentjernej area.
I’ve got memory problems, I don’t remember too quickly,
I need a lot of time and effort to consolidate knowledge.
I was afraid in primary school, of failing to learn, I got bad grades,
and I didn’t know how to learn, how to approach learning.
We see increasing numbers of adults who need help and support in deciding
on the right education for them at any given time.
In adult education, guidance activities are the link between adults
who want to learn, or who are already in education, and
educational organisations that offer various learning and education opportunities.
In addition to almost all adult education organisations already offering guidance support,
here at the Slovenian Institute for Adult Education we decided over ten years ago
to develop what are called regional guidance centres
as a central hub within a region offering guidance support to all adults.
We developed fourteen regional guidance centres,
where the trained professional counsellors provide free information and guidance.
