Adult Education, the Second Chance: Fact and Fiction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rinne, Risto; Kivinen, Osmo – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 1993
Adult education in Finland is examined as a second chance for those held back through inadequate education. Interviews with 3,990 adults make it clear that the ideal is not being fully realized. The probability of participation in adult education is heavily influenced by social status, cultural capital, and other factors. (SLD)
