... important reading for anyone with an interest in contemporary and emergent changes to the institutions of education, and so in the purpose, distribution and practices of education and learning at this time in our histories. Studies in the Education of Adults


"""... important reading for anyone with an interest in contemporary and emergent changes to the institutions of education, and so in the purpose, distribution and practices of education and learning at this time in our histories."" Studies in the Education of Adults"


... an extremely valuable addition to the literature ... Overall, I found the publication to be a stimulating mix of conceptual debate and pragmatic 'signposting'. It is without question, an important document for managers in industry and commerce, policy makers, academics and training consultants, and in that sense, clearly fulfilled my expectations and successfully underpins the ESRC's 'Learning Society' series objectives of making an important contribution to the public debate on lifelong learning. Widening Participation and Lifelong Learning ... important reading for anyone with an interest in contemporary and emergent changes to the institutions of education, and so in the purpose, distribution and practices of education and learning at this time in our histories.
