Springer - Continuing Higher Education and Lifelong Learning

Explore the complex landscape of lifelong learning with this international comparative study by Anke Hanft and Michaela Knust. Published by Springer, this academic work provides a detailed examination of how continuing higher education is structured and organized across six different nations: Austria, Finland, France, Germany, the UK, and the USA. This study goes beyond a simple list of current educational provisions. It investigates the institutions themselves and the surrounding environments that influence their operation. By moving away from a strictly national viewpoint, the research offers a broad international perspective that is essential for understanding global trends in adult education. Readers will gain insights into the development, establishment, and professional implementation of continuing education models. This book serves as a valuable resource for academics, policymakers, and researchers looking to understand the organizational frameworks that shape higher education for lifelong learners on a global scale.
