Abstract: Access to quality basic adult education is a concern in many countries throughout the world. In this innovative study, sixteen researchers from ten different countries in the Western and Arab worlds look at adult education, and discuss how an ecological approach to education focusing on the cultural traditions and natural environments of communities can be more useful than education in specialized institutions. Education, they argue, should involve the transmission of knowledge and know-how within an environment appropriate to the students. This interdisciplinary collection of essays is a follow-up to preceding works of research on literacy, published in the ALPHA series in Quebec and at UNESCO over the past twenty years. In their humanist, ecological vision of the world, the contributors aim to provide alternatives to neocapitalist thinking, and promote local education and development through international cooperation. |
