In this era of the knowledge society – where production structure is shifting towards greater knowledge use and away from reliance on physical capital,
manufacturing and agricultural production – growth in personal, national and regional incomes is increasingly defined by the ability to create, manage, disseminate and innovate in knowledge production. The new information and communication technologies (ICTs) intensify the rate of exchange of information. They also allow users to participate actively in virtual networks that can easily be mobilised to shape public opinion. Globalisation means that individuals and families are crossing national borders in large numbers. They, as well as the receiving communities, need to learn new ways of living together amidst
cultural differences. These developments not only highlight the importance of
continuous learning in general; they also demand that adults keep on acquiring more information, upgrading their skills and reexamining their values. The critical role of adult education in the development of society has long been recognised. Since the First International Conference on Adult Education in 1949, UNESCO member states have dedicated themselves to ensuring that adults are able
to exercise the basic right to education. Later Conferences in Montreal (1960), Tokyo (1972), Paris (1985) and Hamburg (1997) reaffirmed this right, and proposed ways of making it a reality. In 1976, the UNESCO General Conference approved the Nairobi Recommendation on the Development of Adult Education (UNESCO, 1976) which enshrined governments’ commitment to promote adult education as an integral part of the educational system within a lifelong
learning perspective. Over the course of these 60 years the landscape of adult education has evolved. This Global Report aims to describe the current position. First it sets out to document trends in key areas of adult education at the global level, intended to serve as a reference document for policymakers, practitioners and researchers. Second, it provides an advocacy tool to promote the importance of adult education as well as to share effective practice. Finally, as one of the key inputs to CONFINTEA VI, it will provide evidence to support the outcome document of the meeting. The understanding of the role of adult
education has changed and developed through time. From being seen as
promoting international understanding in 1949, adult education is now seen
as a key in the economic, political and cultural transformation of individuals,
communities and societies in the 21st century. While UNESCO has spelled out a
definition of adult education in the Nairobi Recommendation, what is considered as adult education is still subject to a wide range of interpretations. The shift from education to learning also constitutes an important change in  conceptualising the field (see Definitions panel). But what, exactly is an “adult”? Cultural and social factors have significant impact on the division of the human life-course into age-linked stages and phases. These phases vary widely across time and space. Furthermore, there is no inevitable or automatic correlation between age and learning needs or preferences beyond (PDF 1,726KB)]]> Publications Recent Publications Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100 http://uil.unesco.org/es/portal/news-target/beating-the-drums-for-attention/bb1b9dc4e05b239ac7a97298cc37ca2b/ The present publication is the final product of the collective work of IntALWinE, giving an account...
