Conclusion -- References -- Index.This book addresses the questions why citizenship education is an important subject for students in further and adult education and why we need democratic colleges to support the study of citizenship education. It investigates the historical roots of further and adult education and identifies how the adoption of citizenship education in the post-compulsory sector can enrich vocational studies in further education and programmes in adult education. It is argued that democratic colleges are vital to ensure that citizenship education informs the decision-making process throughout educational institutions (and as a means of establishing fair and equal representation for important stakeholders). The author has worked in both sectors for over a decade, and uses this experience to offer a blend of educational practice and philosophical investigation. The result is a work that appeals to both teachers in further and adult education as well as academics and students interested in philosophy of education.Lifelong Learning Book Series,1871-322X ;18Adult educationVocational educationAdult education.Vocational education.370Hopkins Neil961515MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484636903321Citizenship and Democracy in Further and Adult Education2854241UNINA
