Learning Networks in Adult Education: Non-formal Education on a Housing Estate (Routledge Library Editions: Adult Education)

<p>Originally published in 1979, this book reports on a 3 year action research programme (The New Communities Project) which aimed in increase working-class participation in adult education. Basing their argument on the work of the Project, the authors contend that adult education must begin with the people themselves, to go on and assist their intellectual, social, psychological, cultural and political growth. In their view, adult education needs to be identified as something more flexible than 'classes', whilst also distinguishing between non-formal education and other kinds of community work or development. Providing different perspectives on the way in which a service relates to a particular area, the book's conclusions have a bearing on both practice and training in a variety of areas concerned with social intervention. </p>

<p>The first volume deals with basic learning requirements such as literacy, numeracy, problem-solving skills and a broad range of life skills and values needed to function effectively in society. The second volume examines the role of families, communities and other social agents in areas such as early-childhood care, health and nutrition, distance learning and non-formal continuing and adult education. The third volume focuses on how to turn education for all into a reality through the development of a supportive policy context, resource mobilization, technical capacity-building and increased international co-operation.</p>
