"Access to higher education, particularly for adults, has been a major issue in policy debates since the end of the 1970s. Since that time, however, very little comparative work has been done on policy and practice in other countries."--BOOK JACKET. "Adults in Higher Education brings together information not previously available, and fills some of the gaps in the debate. It provides a comparative framework within which the policies and practices of different countries, and their relative strengths and weaknesses, are considered. As a result, it enables the identification of elements which are transferable or which offer possibilities for development in other countries."--BOOK JACKET.
