Overview & Synopsis

In the first phase of nation-state development, adult education serves in the creation of nationalism and consensus. As the nation enters the world stage, adult education enforces national and cultural identity and meets professionalizing needs. As consensus loosens and pluralism emerges, adult education may become a symbol of conflict between competing needs and interests of special groups. (SK)
