Description

This book has two purposes: first to argue that there is a greater need now than ever before for liberal adult education for the working class.

Such provision would both help to ameliorate the gross inequalities of our society and provide some counter-balance to the increasingly utilitarian and vocational orientation of post-school education.

Secondly, the book aims to describe and analyse in some detail the community-based programme for various ‘disadvantaged’ working class groups that has been developed by a British Pioneer Work team concerned with adult continuing education.

The methods, objectives and overall practice described in this case study are of relevance to those working in all sectors of adult and community education.

This book is edited by two members of staff concerned with Pioneer Work development from the outset, and the contributors include other members of the Pioneer Work team of lecturers and researchers.
