Against a background of profound wordwide social and economic change, the concept of lifelong learning has come increasingly into the public eye. As educators and policy-makers rethink the meaning of education, the purpose of schooling and the place of learning in our everyday lives, educational institutions are opening up to those traditionally deprived of the opportunity. The books in this set, originally published between 1979 and 1992, including global case studies, reflect upon major issues confronting adult educators worldwide and
discuss the role of adult education in social and community action
examine the relationship between class and adult education
look at the concept of culture and the transmission of cultural values in relations to adult education
evaluate the role of adult education in reducing unemployment
