Learning doesn't end when you leave school (sorry, but it doesn't)!!  That's why old people seem to know so much and are so good at quizzes!

Also, not everyone does fabulously at school; some of us aren't so good at learning in a class room and can pick things up better by doing them.

There's some stuff that's pretty essential for getting on in life though and lots of people have some gaps in their knowledge that they'd quite like to fill. Fortunately it's possible to improve things like reading, writting and numbers at any age - so it;s never too late!
