Continuous learning partnership

Abstract

The consultative paper Towards an Adult Training Strategy, published by the Manpower Services Commission in 1983, explicitly recognised and sought to foster wider appreciation of the need for systematic continuous learning throughout adult life. Adults will come from four decades; from various backgrounds of culture and language; from work, leisure and unemployment. If the opportunities of this situation are seized, a massive commitment will have been made to the development of the learning society. Inevitably this will mean commitment to the Open Society which, as Karl Popper long ago pointed out, also has its enemies, and recognition that mass communication has already decentralised power by distributing the information‐base.
