BEING AN ADULT LEARNER IN AUSTERE TIMES GEBUNDEN

This book examines the experiences of adult learners in times of austerity. The power of adult
education to transform lives is well known  and it is especially powerful for those who missed
out on educational opportunities earlier in life. Those who have been successful learners in
the past are more likely to continue their education and training  making extra support and
funding ever-more important: however  in the current economic and political climate  support
for adult learning is significantly decreasing. This book sheds light on the experiences of
adult learners  despite the difficulties facing the sector: interweaving empirical discussions
with theoretical debates  the editors and contributors demonstrate the challenges and struggles
of adult learners in higher  further and community education. This enlightening edited
collection will be of interest to all those involved in adult education as well as policy
makers and funders.
