This book explores the realities of adult education practice in the
current political and economic climate. With a particular focus on
examining the effect of the multitude of changes in policy and
philosophy over the past 30 years, the book explores how the values
and career expectations of adult educators have been affected, and
considers the implications for adult education as a field of
professional practice. As well as exploring the broader
international picture, the book draws on the findings of recent
research into adult and community education practitioners'
perspectives in two case study countries - England and Aotearoa/New
Zealand - to illustrate how local contexts and cultures, as well as
global trends, impact on the structure and organisation of adult
education. By presenting the perspectives of adult educators, whose
voices have been relatively absent from the recent literature, this
book gives a unique insight into how their work has been adversely
affected by funding and policy pressures in an increasingly
insecure educational environment, and analyses their responses to
the contradictions between their professional values and the
expectations placed upon them by policy and funding changes. It
will be of great interest to students and researchers working in
Education and Sociology, and will also make compelling reading for
policy-makers.
