With decentralisation and marketisation becoming global trends in reforming public sectors across the world, China's adult and continuing education institutions have also adopted these policies in their restructuring. The present research presents a holistic picture of the restructuring of China's adult and continuing education. The global and local forces that are driving the decentralisation and marketisation of China's adult and continuing education such as the development of the market economy in the country, the rising demand for professional talent, the impact of the increasing enrolment in China's regular higher education institutions, and the external influence of educational reforms are identified and examined. 410 0$aEducation in a competitive and globalizing world series. 606 $aAdult education$zChina 606 $aContinuing education$zChina 606 $aEducation, Higher$zChina 606 $aUniversities and colleges$xDecentralization$zChina 606 $aEducational change$zChina 615 0$aAdult education 615 0$aContinuing education 615 0$aEducation, Higher 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xDecentralization 615 0$aEducational change 676 $a374/.951 700 $aLiu$b Ning Rong$01862589 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968625203321 996 $aDecentralization and marketization$94468875 997 $aUNINA
