Prospects for a Learning Society

Ohliger, John

Adult Leadership, 24, 1, 37-9, Sep 75

The author raises six serious doubts about the directions adult education is taking toward a society mistakenly termed "learning society," which is in fact an "instructional society." An ominous vision of "womb-to-tomb" schooling is evoked by the author's quotations from prominent adult educators who criticize this trend. (Author/AJ)
