Description

Explore the complex history of global education through UNESCO's Utopia of Lifelong Learning: An Intellectual History. Published by Routledge as part of the Research in Lifelong Learning and Adult Education series, this book provides a deep look at how educational concepts have changed since 1945. Author Elfert examines the shifts in UNESCO's mission as it responded to historical pressures and dilemmas. The text analyzes the tension between a humanistic worldview and the practical pressures placed on the organization. You will learn how these forces caused a departure from the original utopian vision of lifelong learning, even as the organization maintained a sense of continuity. This work interprets the history of lifelong learning as a struggle between two major ideologies: the humanistic-emancipatory approach and the economistic-technocratic approach. It is a necessary resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in the evolution of adult education and international policy.
