Description
Adult education in Australia has, in recent years, received renewed official interest, largely because of the importance of re-training in updating the knowledge and skills needed in a period of rapid social and technological change. This book aims to articulate a coherent vision of the role and purpose of adult education in Australia at a time of growth and the restructuring of provision. It focuses, in particular, on the relationships between adult education and the state. The chapters focus on identifiable groups of users and particular providing agencies and re-affirms the traditional concern of Australian adult educators with the problems of unemployemnt, illiteracy, migrant education, human rights, aboriginal education, geographical isolation and contact with disadvantaged groups.
