"The time is ripe for re-evaluation of access, lifelong learning and education for
all in the light of contemporary social and ecological perspectives. This book lays
the ground for this critical examination. The three different but intersecting and
overlapping domains are explored conceptually and in practice across educational sectors
and continents. It is a thought-provoking text by serious scholars." - Shirley Walters,
University of the Western Cape, South Africa "This insightful collection is a must-read
for scholars, students and policy-makers. With its broad geographical spread and wide-ranging
examples, many rooted in practice, the collection opens up new and constructive ways
of thinking about access, lifelong learning and education for all." - Miriam Zukas,
Birkbeck, University of London, UK "This volume explores the wide-ranging demands
confronting post-secondary education. Drawing on experience in a variety of international
settings, the issues for governments, organisations, communities and individuals are
considered. The volume will be a key resource for researchers and decision-makers."
- John Field, University of Stirling, UK This book examines access, lifelong learning
and education for all, which have been policy preoccupations in all countries for
more than half a century, but have been overlaid and pushed aside by the development
of mass higher education. The authors examine what has been achieved, what lessons
have been learnt and what still remains to be done, addressing matters of equity,
agency, community, mobility and hierarchy. Gareth Parry is Professor Emeritus at the
University of Sheffield, UK, where he was Director of the Centre for the Study of
Higher Education. Michael Osborne is Professor of Adult and Continuing Education at
the University of Glasgow, UK, where he is Director of the Centre for Research and
Development in Adult and Lifelong Learning. Peter Scott is Emeritus Professor of Higher
Education Studies at the Institute of Education, University College London, UK, and
