Synopsis

Recent political events in the United Kingdom have elevated educational issues to levels of greater prominence than ever before. As the political parties strive to carve out educational blue prints which will provide for today's diverse learning needs, mention and discussion of the learning society has become particularly voguish. But what exactly is the learning society? And how can it be applied to current educational practice? This book traces the history of the concept and discusses the different interpretive models which have been attached to the learning society idea. The book provides in-depth scrutiny of the current debate, including contributed chapters from those public bodies engaged in it, sharpening our understanding of the learning society at a time of some urgency.
