In the Net of Economic Rationalism: Adult Education in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Zepke, Nick

New Zealand Journal of Adult Learning, v29 n2 p7-24 Nov 2001

In the last decade, consensus around equality and efficiency in New Zealand adult education shifted to a focus on autonomy and accountability, economic rationalism, and vocational skills. Adult educators seeking change should emphasize participative democracy, connectedness, and valuing and advancing groups with diverse identities and interests. (Contains 39 references.) (SK)
