Part Three: RESULTS

The survey was completed by 108 individuals enrolled in Holland College Adult Education classes across Prince Edward Island. The results are organized in a similar design as the survey itself. The first section summarizes demographic information, the second section compiles information regarding the financial and social costs reported by learners, and the third section contains data from the financial and social support portion of the survey.
