The Adult Education Centre: Cultures of Affluence, Cultures of Poverty.

Payne, John

International Journal of Lifelong Education, v11 n3 p217-33 Jul-Sep 1992

Observation, questionnaires, and interviews at a South London adult education center showed that adult education offers a number of alternative examples but within a predominantly middle-class atmosphere. The dimension of equal opportunities and social justice is present but not yet a significant force in adult education. (SK)
