Adult Education, the Second Chance: Fact and Fiction.
Rinne, Risto; Kivinen, Osmo
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v37 n2 p115-28 1993
Adult education in Finland is examined as a second chance for those held back through inadequate education. Interviews with 3,990 adults make it clear that the ideal is not being fully realized. The probability of participation in adult education is heavily influenced by social status, cultural capital, and other factors. (SLD)
