Author Description

"Today, everyone is talking about lifelong learning. Schooling is not enough: we must take responsibility and continue to learn throughout our lives. This collection examines theory and practice in lifelong learning from a range of international standpoints. What the policy rhetoric means, and how practice is really changing, are discussed in studies of lifelong learning in higher education, workplaces, schools, social movements, international organizations and national governments." "This book is essential reading for lecturers, researchers and course developers in higher education, providing them with a thought-provoking overview of lifelong learning in an international context."--BOOK JACKET.
