Beyond Rhetoric Adult Learning Policies and Practices

This study looks at the ways nine countries ( Canada, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK) have tried to improve access to and participation in adult education. This report looks at the issues in adult learning; patterns of participation; incentives for adults to learn; improving the delivery of learning to adults and promoting the betting integration of demand and supply. By examining the practice in a number of countries it is possible to make comparisons and identify the desirable features of adult learning systems.Pont, Beatriz is the author of 'Beyond Rhetoric Adult Learning Policies and Practices' with ISBN 9789264199439 and ISBN 9264199438.
