Creating Leisure. Adult Education against the Consumer Culture?

Field, John

Adults Learning (England), v2 n2 p53-54 Oct 1990

A survey of 623 students at 6 short-term British residential colleges found that, despite the leisure-oriented nature of the programs, adult students were extensively involved in public life. Allowing public policy on adult education to be dominated by a work/achievement ethic obstructs society's capacity to benefit from human creativity and energy. (SK)
