More than 25,000 people enrol annually in the Adult Education Centre’s programmes.

Classes are offered in 25 sessions per year, once a week, with each session lasting one and a half hours.

Adult Education Centres operate both in urban areas and rural communities, offering morning, afternoon, and evening classes in public school buildings and other suitable locations.

Tuition fees, following approval from the cabinet, are set at €55 for both urban and rural areas.

Members attending classes in both urban and rural areas, born before October 31, 1958, will pay half the tuition fees (€27.50).

Tuition fees can only be paid electronically through the JCC online payment system.
