Overview

The landscape of higher education is rapidly evolving, presenting both new opportunities and significant challenges. In our interconnected world, institutions of higher learning must not only transmit knowledge but also actively address the social, economic, and cultural issues arising from diverse and dynamic societies. This book offers a comprehensive comparative analysis of higher education and lifelong learning, drawing insights from educators worldwide. Featuring contributions from experts across various countries, this book explores how higher education systems are adapting to the specific needs of adult learners while engaging with global trends. Each chapter delves into unique practices, policies, and challenges shaping learning experiences in different regions, providing readers with a broader understanding of the transformative period in higher education that prepares young adults for lifelong learning. Reflective questions at the end of each chapter encourage readers to engage deeply with the topics discussed. The book concludes with the introduction of Chuoagogy, a learning framework that aims to bridge theory and practice, transitioning from pedagogy to andragogy. By highlighting best practices, this book seeks to inspire the creation of learning environments that equip adult students with not only the necessary knowledge and skills but also a lifelong passion for learning. Thus, whether you are an academic, a student, a policymaker, or simply someone with an interest in education and lifelong learning, this book offers valuable insights that can inform your interdisciplinary understanding and practice.
