A Community Work Approach in Adult Education.

Thomson, Cathie

International Journal of Lifelong Education, v10 n3 p181-96 Jul-Sep 1991

The recommendations of Scotland's 1975 Alexander Report for increasing adult education participation and Tom Lovett's development of a social action model with working class adults in Liverpool and Ireland are used as background to an examination of Scottish projects that use a community work approach to involve nonparticipating adults in education.
