It is only when there is a credible, whole hearted and institutionalized effort on a long term basis that the learner would take the programme of adult education seriously. The first step, therefore, is to understand Adult Education Programme as a continuous and lifelong education programme. It must contain all structures and institutions from national to habitation levels, on a permanent basis, as part of the education department. The structures and processes should be receptive to the learners' needs on the ground. Compared to the model in vogue, these imperatives represent a basic transformation in the character of the programme, with pronounced permanency in learning centres for adult and continuing education in the lifelong learning perspective. This will qualify for the shift from Plan to Non-Plan phasing for planning and budgeting.Item Lifelong Learning and Organizational Self-Management as Generators of Participatory Research(0000) Blackwell, Andres; Dinan, John; Matute, Eduardo; Martinez, Ada; Padilla, Ernesto; Guzman, GermanThis report from the International Encounter about Participatory Research explores how lifelong learning and organizational self-management serve as foundations for participatory research initiatives.
