The article undertakes the problem of the educational activity of elderly people.

Comparative analysis of the level of educational involvement, measured by means of participation in education and professional training shown elderly Polish people take part in the process of improving qualification in a smaller degree than the inhabitant of the EU. At the same time regularity, manifesting itself in an increase in the level of their professional engagement proportionally to higher levels of education, can be observed.

As many as 65% of respondents believed that education, both formal and informal learning, is crucial for maintaining employment or finding job.
