Access, Lifelong Learning and Education for All
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-12341-2 (ISBN)
This book examines access, lifelong learning and education for all, which have been policy preoccupations in all countries for more than half a century, but have been overlaid and pushed aside by the development of mass higher education. The authors examine what has been achieved, what lessons have been learnt and what still remains to be done, addressing matters of equity, agency, community, mobility and hierarchy.
