Abstract:
The nature of education is changing radically throughout the world. It is increasingly becoming a lifelong process in which the most important learning happens in the post-school years, outside the traditional educational institutions. The human life cycles have shifted their boundaries, technology is progressing with ever-increasing speed, and the social demand for education is continually expanding: all this means that lifelong learning has taken on a new urgency. Lifelong Education elucidates these far-reaching changes by bringing together 17 distinguished contributions, drawn from many countries, that address a wide range of issues, including changing patterns of employment, the interrelationship between education and social structures, differing views on the role of the state, and the emergence of a `biographical' approach, in which education becomes a process of shaping one's own life story. The contributions analyze the various patterns of lifelong education within different national contexts, from Sweden to Sub-Saharan Africa, from Argentina to Poland. Audience: Practitioners, researchers and planners. The book provides a wealth of valuable insights into the nature and direction of the changes occurring in lifelong education, addressing a cross-section of the vast field, taking soundings, and raising key questions
