Government Support in Learning through Lifelong Learning Programmes
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify the extent of government support in implementing LLL programmes for working individuals from the perspective of SME employees. Previous studies had been focussing on involvement of workers in LLL programmes, however very little study in Malaysia had done on government provides support in terms of programme offerings, infrastructure facilities and education funding among SME employees. This study applied a quantitative approach using the cross section questionnaire design. A total of 1148 SME employees were selected as respondents. Correlation coefficients show that SME employees’ level of knowledge on the LLL programmes offered (min=2.7, s.d =0.537) and level of readiness to participate in the LLL programmes (min=2.68, s.d=0.536) are at medium level. Level of government support towards level of involvement of SME employees in LLL programmes also at medium level (min=3.07; s.d=0.32).
