About the October Forum
Presented by John Holford (Peers Prof of Adult Ed, U of Nottingham)
The 1919 Ministry of Reconstruction Report on Adult Education gave a democratic ethos to 20th century adult education policy. The 2019 Centenary Commission Report restated the aims for the 21st century – but it did not foresee that within three months Coronavirus would have locked the country down, reducing lawful human interaction to Zoom.
What have we learned from the Covid-19 experience about the need and potential for democratic adult education?
