ABSTRACT
SO far, in the earlier chapters of this book, we have been considering the history and organization of adult education in Britain, and the later chapters have dealt with the problems of adult teaching in the light of our experience in this country. Yet this movement is rapidly becoming a world movement, stimulated at first by the example of Britain, but soon developing its own different forms, in the advanced democratic countries of the western world, in newly awakened nations of the Middle and Far East, and in the still backward colonial and ex-colonial territories of Africa and the islands of the Caribbean and the Pacific.
