New Learning for Older Australians, or Just the Same Old Education?
Randell, Shirley; Mason, Robb
Educational Gerontology, v21 n5 p385-400 Jul-Aug 1995
The early education older adults received and current emphasis on recreational adult education will not prepare them for future challenges. Older adults need to be resilient, resourceful, and financially independent; they must learn to cope with sociocultural and technological change, maintain physical and mental health, and develop self-employment skills.
