Reconstructions of Adult Education: An invitation

November 2019 will mark an important educational centenary: the publication of the Ministry of Reconstruction’s Final Report on Adult Education. The report, largely authored by R.H.

Its centenary is, we believe, a vital opportunity to reflect on the needs and possibilities for adult education today.
