Abstract

In the context of lifelong learning, adult education has been abandoning some of its historical and dearer principles of action and theory. Vocational training and similar dimensions concerned with the workers’ adaption to the labour market seem to constitute the dominant focus of contemporary adult education. The situation of older learners is even more complex.
