About this book
In many countries, schools, universities and other traditional learning institutions are not providing for the educational needs of all members of the community. In many communities, particularly in regional, rural and disadvantaged areas, there are only limited options for people to undertake learning. Limited participation in learning has the danger of reinforcing people’s alienation from mainstream education and from participation and inclusion in social institutions and economic and community life more generally. This book addresses the challenge of identifying effective ways of accommodating the learning needs of all people and in so doing achieving the goals of lifelong learning for all.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The themes of this book are illuminated through in-depth analyses of issues inherent in conceptualizing lifelong learning for all, the provision and complexity of lifelong learning to the disadvantaged, and the need for further research. Researchers, scholars, and practitioners in adult education, human resources, and training and development with an interest in lifelong learning for all will benefit from this instructive book.” (Atlanta Sloane-Seale, Canadian Journal of University Continuing Education, Vol. 34 (2), 2008)Editors and Affiliations
