What Can We Learn from an Analysis of Adult Education Policies?

Fragoso, Antonio; Lucio-Villegas, Emilio

International Journal of Lifelong Education, v21 n3 p253-68 May-Jun 2002

Analysis of Portuguese adult education policies from 1974-1999 showed that an early-70s radical period ended with establishment of capitalist neoliberal policies. There is a strong dichotomy between formal adult education and nonformal education offered by community organizations. Popular education is marginalized and the state's role in civil society is weakening. (Contains 60 references.) (SK)
