Over the last 25 years, continuing education departments at universities in the UK have come under unprecedented threat, with many closing or changing beyond recognition. Yet, this has occurred over the same period that their central values of social equity, accessibility, and learner engagement are at the heart of the current rhetoric of wider and more inclusive participation in higher education. This book explores the many changes in UK continuing education from 1981 to 2006, including case studies of individual university departments. It also looks at the role of the Universities Association for Lifelong Learning. As the old continuing education tradition disappears, its story should be told, and, equally importantly, the driving principles of the university adult education system have a valuable contribution to make in informing future strategy and policy in higher education lifelong learning.
