| Abstract: | This
paper sets out to answer two questions "Given the policy settings for
lifelong learning for adults in Europe and much of the western world,
what are the policy settings and experiences in Aotearoa New Zealand?"
and "Will the future of adult lifelong education there be neoliberal or
cosmopolitan?" The article first examines some of the roots of
post-compulsory education policy in Aotearoa New Zealand over the last
30 years. In particular it considers trends in philosophies and
practices about educating adults as well as some of the varied policy
discourses prevailing over this period. Next it reviews the
ever-changing policy landscape, in particular unresolved tensions
between social and economic goals, the acquisition of skills for
learning for living and dialogic social purpose learning, and attainment
of social cohesion and recognition of diversity. Finally the paper
attempts to preview how these tensions may play out in an uncertain
future. (Contains 1 table.) |
