This work is concerned with appraising the contemporary ethical
impact of lifelong learning ideology and advocacy on education,
through focusing on trends in educational policy and management
that flow from the ideology. It has its origins in the author's
concern that many of those trends are being defmed and promoted, or
opposed, without an adequate understanding of their ethical
dimensions. The 21 trends examined in this work are seen as defming
important dimensions of the quite radical changes in educational
policy and management that are flowing from the practical
realisation of lifelong learning ideology and advocacy. In here
evaluating those trends from an ethical perspective, the thesis is
developed that they lead inevitably to distinctive ethical dilemmas
or tensions in the lived experience of educational participants.
The dilemmas, though, are not seen as realities that can
intelligently be either avoided or resolved. They are, rather,
inescapable features of the trends, although they and the
experience of them may be managed intelligently to a greater or
lesser extent. This analysis is premised on the belief that an
understanding of the dilemmas may be of practical value in
assisting educators, and policy makers and managers, to live and
work more intelligently with them and to better manage the
educational changes that are defmed by the trends. It may thereby
contribute to moderating the excesses, sillinesses, and inanities
so often evident in the directing and managing of refonns
associated with the trends and to reduce the anguish and pain
associated with them.
