A propos du livre

Revue de presse

The strength of this report is the fact that it recognises all of the strands that make up lifelong learning: in the community, in educational institutions, and of course through the workplace. Crucially, it identifies the major changes taking place in our society and the challenges they bring in maintaining functioning communities, and active and effective citizens. --Rt Hon David Blunkett MP

This is an excellent report and my party will study it carefully because we do want to reverse the shocking decline in adult education - in just two years, 1.4 million places have disappeared. We need to be much better at giving people a second chance. Fixing the problems will be difficult, but we can rapidly improve the information and guidance on offer. And we must start to move towards an adult education system that is more responsive to learners and employers. --David Willetts MP, Shadow Universities and Skills Secretary

Learning Through Life is a wonderful contribution to the scholarly and policy literature on life-long learning. Not only does it bring together cutting edge thinking about life-long learning from a sociological and human development perspective but also it offers creative policies and programs to make life-long learning a reality. Although it's written for a UK audience, it's applicable to an American audience as well, and I recommend it highly to scholars and policymakers in both the UK and US who care about the future of the capacities of citizens. --Dr Fay Lomax Cook, Director, Institute for Policy Research, Professor of Human Development & Social Policy, Northwestern University, Illinois
