Adult and Lifelong Education explores why politicians, researchers,
and practitioners involved in educating post-school young people
and adults have quietly abandoned the term 'education' in favour of
'learning'. Bringing together contributions from experienced as
well as younger scholars, and from Europe, North America, and
Australasia, it draws on global, national, and local perspectives
to reveal key features of adult education's policy environment. At
the book's heart are three main concerns. First, what is the
spatial reach of these developments, and what processes of fluidity
and fixity emerge? Second, does increased state and international
recognition of civil society's role in adult education and learning
help to voice grass-roots learning needs for individuals and
communities? Or does it create new patterns of dependency and
'domestication'? Finally, given the growing culture of monitoring,
and the investment - of money, time and attention - which
international organizations, national governments, and research
institutes around the world are making in gathering information on
people's skills and knowledge, and how they use them, what is
happening when literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving abilities
are tested? How is this knowledge used - and abused - in various
policy environments, and who benefits? The book is an outcome of
the work of the European Society for the Research on the Education
of Adults (ESREA) Research Network on Policy Studies in Adult
Education's inaugural conference, held at the University of
Nottingham in 2012. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Globalisation, Societies and Education.
