Learning is like most other things we all do in the sense that it's driven by a cause. The question is what drives people to learn? The answer is inconvenient for use but it's different for everyone. Some may learn to get into a good college or university, get a good job and make more money. Some may just be curious and want to learn answers to their questions. Many times it's completely different, such as needing to learn C++ to write a chat bot. In my case, as with arguably everyone who goes to school or learns skills, it's a mixture of those.
If you want people to learn, give them a reason. People get discouraged and see no reason to continue, not seeing success as an option in some cases. Some people are just very simply 'unmotivated'. If they have a goal or direction in life they'll put the effort in; for example a lot of people's goals is a good job, but what job do you all want? If they have no direction they lose sight of their education. This is especially easy because they don't see the benefit of what they're learning. Social Studies arguably has little real world use. Science is stereotyped for professors and doctors in a way. If you know how to speak read and write why get better english? (i used to think like that once) There's an excuse for everything and not enough reason for some people to learn. They see no benefit from it.
If you want people to learn, with "Enthusiasm" as you say, they need a reason and they need to know how education will help them. The reason is only theirs to choose and not something anyone can assign.
