Summary/Abstract: Underdeveloped rural regions suffer from many complex economic and social problems in Hungary. One of the most important elements of this is a lack of proper knowledge, the problem of knowledge absorption and shortages in innovation. An education lack as well as training and learning deficits can lead to depressed situations continuing to exist in many areas of the country; while in contrast: proper education, training and learning are able to create more favourable situations. Besides public, vocational and higher education there is a need to focus on and also look into adult education and training, for these levels of learning could be the key to developing processes. Thus, adult education and training, along with rural development are factors serving to complement each other.
