French universities and lifelong learning policies : an opportunity for adult learners ?
Résumé
Continuing training has been one of the goals of French universities since 1968. However, most have only weakly committed to this activity, and adult participation in higher education (HE) is not well developed in France. Can lifelong learning (LLL) policies driven by international bodies since the early 2000s make a difference ? By changing access to training and the content of training in order to establish continuity between initial education and continuing training, do LLL policies offer adults last-chance opportunities to attend open universities ? How are the boundaries between initial education and continuing training in HE (higher education) systems evolving in France and other countries ? By addressing these issues, our ambition is to understand whether adult participation in HE is currently developing.
