Adult Education in British Columbia.

Overview & Synopsis

Articles on existing programs of adult education operating outside of institutional sponsorship are presented. The articles about adult education classes for Indians and teaching English as a second language report developments in programs that have only recently been established, while articles on the Junior League, adult activities in the community centers of Vancouver, and rural adult education inventory existing program areas that have not been reported previously. The second section contains articles about public school adult programs, the extension activities of the University of Victoria, and the community colleges of B. C. The final section of articles reviews adult education in the health sciences as it has emerged in continuing medical education and as it may be needed in rehabilitation medicine. A chronology of the early history of adult education until 1914 and a working bibliography about adult education in British Columbia are also included. (Author/CK)
