In recent years, there has been more and more talk in our environment about second-chance education and especially about the need to improve it, greater individualization in relation to the needs of learners, or a more comprehensive system of support and counseling. We have started to deal with this issue more in detail within the project of Slovak research and development agency. In our contribution we would like to present the partial results of this project. Based on domestic and foreign studies (Ross, Sh., & Gray, J., 2005; Lamb, S., et al., 2018; Savelsberg, H., Pignata, S., & Weckert, P., 2017; Hall, R., 2019; Pirohová, I., Lukáč, M., & Lukáčová, S., 2020) as well as our own findings, we decided to map the specifics of the educational process of adult students without basic aducation and with basic education. We focused on their motivation for education, their characteristics, the causes of early school leaving, educational barriers, but also on formal aspects and content of the educational process of these students. As the basic research method, we choose semistructired interview, which we conducted with teachers of second-chance education in Slovak schools. The results point to a number of persistent problems related to law individual support and counseling for these students, insufficient readiness of teachers to work with adults and adults from socially disadventaged environments in the context of second-chance education and an absent systemic apporach to this issue.
