The Politics of Adult Education in Comparative Perspective: Models, Rationalities and Adult Education Policy Implementation in Canada, Mexico and Tanzania.
Overview & Synopsis
Examines adult education models and the perceptions of 442 adult learners and 160 teachers in Canada, Mexico, and Tanzania. Despite major economic and political differences between countries, the Canadian "therapeutic model," Mexican "recruitment model," and Tanzanian "forced modernization model" of adult education share common traits: technocratic rationale, marginality of literacy training, top-down decision making, and untrained teachers.
