Landscapes of learning
Lifelong learning in rural communities
|
Edited by Fred Gray More
titles on Informal Learning |
 |
This book is devoted to contemporary rural adult education in Britain, examining a previously largely ignored subject and constituency of adult learners. It gives conceptual tools to make sense of the problem of rural adult education – looking at the general context as well as the practical and policy issues. It gives an assessment of what makes for good or bad practice, with case studies covering older learners, science, adult guidance and IT among others.

Reviews
“Rural life has remained at the margins of policy-makers’ thinking because of
a lack of research and advocacy in this area. This book can make a major
contribution to putting education in the countryside firmly on the policy-making
and political agenda.”
(Colin Hynson, TES Friday magazine)
