This policy discussion paper reviews the many changes that have taken place since 1997, both in Government policy for adult learning and the structures that have been put in place to deliver those policies. Since 1997, the Government has embarked on a series of reforms to raise the levels of skill, qualifications and general learning in the workforce and in the community at large. This paper seeks to start a debate about the key problems, desirable directions and promising patterns for adult learners that are emerging from the large-scale reform of the last few years. Leisha Fullick reviews the genesis of the Learning and Skills Council in 2002, its key tasks and the challenges that it has faced in the first years of its inception. She explores its relationships with Government departments and with economic development strategies locally and looks at the creation of other key vehicles of Government policy, such as the Regional Development Agencies and the Neighbourhood Renewal Unit, and their impact on opportunities for adult learning. Within this context, the author looks at the likely impact of the recent Skills White Paper and The White Paper on the Future of Higher Education.The paper raises a number of key issues for debate, in particular on the factors that need to be addressed to maintain the momentum for change, and on how greater coherence can be brought into the system. Leisha Fullick is Pro Director (London) at the Institute of Education, University of London. She was a founding member of the Learning and Skills Council and is currently Vice President of the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education and Chair of the Waltham Forest Strategic Education Partnership Board.

The Working Men’s College (WMC) is the UK’s oldest continuously running adult education institution, and a very distinctive example of the British adult education tradition. This volume brings the history of the WMC up to date, following the 1954 centenary history by JFC Harrison. Contributions from a range of professional educators explore topics such as the philosophy of the College, the issue of women’s entry, college governance and the notion of community as it applies to changes in the composition of the student body. Additional features include a chapter on the architectural history of the College; an interview with Satnam Gill as the key figure who drove through crucial change at a time when the College might have died; a chapter from the latest member of a family which has been closely involved with the College over four generations; and a range of personal contributions from tutors and students from the past six decades. This book will be of interest to historians of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, all those in UK adult education, along with local Camden/London community and political groups and the WMC’s extensive family of former students and tutors.

This book presents a valuable and authoritative evaluation of the real impact Labour’s two terms have had on the British education system. On the 1st May 1997 the British electorate witnessed a watershed moment. After an eighteen year Conservative rule, a New Labour government took office. When asked what his top three priorities were for the first term, Tony Blair stated that they would be ‘education, education, education.’ This book questions the extent to which the policy has met the rhetoric; examining Labour’s education policy, practice and achievements during Blair’s two terms in office. This selection of writings by highly respected academics in this field charts and evaluates the effects of policy changes on the various sectors of the educational system and on the major indicators of inequality. This book was previously published as a special issue of the Oxford Review of Education.

Brief Candles (1930), Aldous Huxley's fifth collection of short fiction, consists of the following four short stories: "Chawdron" "The Rest Cure" "The Claxtons" "After the Fireworks" Brief Candles takes its title from a line in William Shakespeare's Macbeth, from Macbeth's famous soliloquy: "Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

At the end of the twentieth century, the concept of knowledge advanced to become one of the central factors of society and seemed to gain in importance in the twenty-first century, mostly understood as know-how and technical knowledge. Next to globalisation, knowledge seems to be the leading term both in public, as well as in scientific, discourses. What is more, the prominent status of knowledge is also reflected in the fact that it is used particularly in social sciences to explain complex social transitions and changes. Thus, one of the most widely discussed and debated social diagnoses takes place under the term Knowledge Society. However, the academic discipline of adult education has not yet profoundly engaged in the discourse on Knowledge Society. This book brings together a cross-section of European researchers in adult education who have contributed to the discourse on Knowledge Society from various perspectives. By presenting their recent research results, the book provides an overview of key concepts within the European discourse which, according to observations, is only at the beginning.
