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. Drawingon 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.
