Post-education society; recognising adults as learners
Analysing the accelerated changes and the kind of restructuring taking place in British present day society, the author focuses on the question of how adults are to adapt to these. The most important task of education is therefore to try to open up opportunities which support adults. Taking into account present knowledge of the specific nature of adulthood, the author argues that the role of education is to strengthen the adult's sense of self-esteem and self-value through the kind of learning available so that he can enlarge on and intensify the learning acquired from work and life experience. Looking ahead to prospects of learning outside the formal education system in a post-education society, the argument is for putting adult learners more in charge of their own learning in a shift from institution-oriented to individual-determined learning
