Consideration is given to the idea of lifelong learning and its implications for British institutions of formal education; professional continuing education in the United States and Britain; changing tasks and requirements of industrial education; contributions of British broadcasting to continuing education; libraries and museums as educational resources; educational activities of voluntary associations; the educational responsibility of the public authorities; educational expenditures as a reflection of social and economic policy; and the problem of setting educational priorities in developing nations.
