ADULT EDUCATION—2: WHO ARE THE MATURE STUDENTS AND WHAT DO THEY NEED?
Abstract
With the image of students as long‐haired, revolutionary and immature as it is, it is difficult to remember that they include amongst their number a small proportion of a less hairy generation. Late entrants, mature students, call them what you will, they form a tiny but significant minority with problems and needs rather different from those of their younger colleagues. For them a system of higher and further education tailored to the needs of thousands of school‐leavers of 18 plus will not necessarily do.
