Produktbeschreibung

An international team of contributors explores policy context for lifelong learning, the policies themselves, and their effects when implemented. The book focuses on the role of lifelong learning policy in relation to issues of competitiveness, technological change and social inclusion. The provision of a range of chapters from around the globe uniquely establishes a comparative basis for the reader. This volume also encourages the student to evaluate lifelong learning as a response to globalizing trends and the globalizing of educational policy.
