Taking post-compulsory education and training as a totality, there are, in theory, opportunities of some sort available to the entire adult population. The opportunities for adult learning include the more traditional formal episodes as well as library drop-in centres, free basic-skills provision, job-seeker training, liberal education evening classes, and courses delivered entirely by technologies such as television or computer. In many cases, these opportunities require no prior qualification or experience, are free at point-of-delivery, and are conveniently available in the home or the local community. Why, then, is participation in these objectively open episodes stratified along the lines of residence, social class, sex, ethnicity and other background variables (Gorard et al., 2003)? Put another way, why are some social and economic groups continuously under-represented in lifelong learning?. © 2009 Selection and editorial matter, Peter Jarvis; individual chapters, the contributors.
