Lifelong learning and democracy

A podcast (21 minutes) just posted, with Dr Jay Derrick of the Centre for Post-14 Education and Work, UCL, on Lifelong learning and democracy, talking about the need for adult education, and the way in which it has declined in the UK:  "Adults are facing issues of access to lifelong learning opportunities ... Arguing about the importance of informal learning and adult education: the latter has unfortunately has been suffering a decline in support over the past years in the UK, making it more difficult for people to engage with." https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/news/2020/jan/lifelong-learning-and-democracy - it is an episode in the podcast FE News podcast https://soundcloud.com/fenews
