Description
With contributions from practitioners and scholars in adult education, A Ministry of Enthusiasm sets the Workers' Educational Association in its historical and social context, tracing its development, and asks key questions about the provision of adult education today.
Has it become a middle-class movement? Is it an instrument of social change or is it an academic institution along classical lines? Is it an autonomous voluntary organisation or has it become an arm of the state educational service?
