ABSTRACT
These are in summary Council’s considered view of the ‘priorities for action’ which, taken together, could form a practical basis for a coherent national policy for the promotion of continuing education. To put these priorities into context we first of all briefly record the report’s main arguments for the creation of a comprehensive system of continuing education and the associated need for consultation and collaboration among and within agencies and institutions, and we add a short account of the Council’s conviction that policies must now be rapidly transformed into practice so as to provide continuing education and training for all adults at all levels of attainment wherever they may live.
