Lifelong Learning - A Brave and Proper Vision: Selected Writings of Naomi Sargant

Naomi Sargant (1933-2006) was a television executive, educator, consultant and writer. This volume of her writing raises themes as relevant and challenging today as when she first wrote them. The rights of women to educational opportunity and recognition; the challenges posed by the digital divide; the importance of recognising what learners have in common, and what separate needs must be addressed if they are to benefit from opportunities to learn - on each she locates her argument in a specific time and policy context, but the principles she articulates are universal.
