註釋This report offers an achievable vision of a future system of continuing education for adults in England and Wales in chapter 1. Chapter 2 argues that economic, technological, social, and personal pressures make an unanswerable case for the comprehensive provision of continuing opportunities for the education of adults. Chapter 3 briefly surveys the patterns of provision of education and training opportunities in England and Wales and shows that many adults now are undereducated to meet the demands already being made on them. Chapter 4 surveys the main barriers to access for different types of learners and suggests ways in which the existing provision could be made available to more people. In the next four chapters, the best ways to develop continuing education in the the 1980s and 1990s are examined. Discussion focuses on information, advisory, and counseling services; ways in and through the education system; accessibility of institutions; and new patterns of learning. Chapters 9 and 10 consider alternative systems and proposed improvements to the existing financial support system and ways of extending entitlements to educational leave. Chapter 11 discusses staffing and training and chapter 12, educational legislation. The final chapter briefly summarizes the case for the creation of a comprehensive system of continuing education and sets out the main lines of action recommended and a broad timetable for their implementation.
