Tóm tắt
Recent years have seen a widespread interest in continuing education in higher education and strong support for its extension in universities. There has been a good deal of discussion of certain areas of continuing education, such as the development of part-time degrees and the provision of courses to increase access into higher education. The fortunes of the other components of this four-fold category, liberal adult and professional and vocational education (PEVE), have received rather less attention. This paper briefly reviews the current involvement of universities in the continuing education field and then goes on to examine recent developments in liberal education and PEVE. The obstacles to implanting continuing education in the mainstream of universities' activities, it argues, are often underestimated. Existing provision is handicapped by competing conceptions of purpose, lack of resources and organisational fragmentation. A greater degree of critical analysis and strategic thinking is required to provide a sounder rationale for continuing education development. The paper concludes with some tentative suggestions as to the future direction a balanced integrated provision might take. © 1989, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
