"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." "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.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
