Description
Lifelong and continuing education is one of the main issues on the educational stage. In the United Kingdom it is a key feature of the government's educational initiative as reflected in the Green Paper 'The Learning Age: a renaissance for a new Britain' (DfEE, 1998). This book provides a range of contributions to the current debate from academic practitioners. It includes both theoretical discussions and empirically-based studies. Lifelong Learning continues to raise important educational questions which are relevant in many countries. These include the issues of how to enable individuals to reach their potential for self-fulfillment; how to ensure that educational opportunities are interesting and available to all; and how to ensure that a nation's workforce is adaptable and well-educated. Each chapter explores a dimension of such fundamental questions.
