Abstract

The Missing - or maybe not - of Adult Education. The case of Andalusia, Spain This paper tries to consider differences between the concepts and practices of Lifelong Learning and Adult Education paying attention on the evolution of Education of the adults in Andalusia (south of Spain). From 1982 on, Andalusia has full autonomy for legislating in education. From this date it started the project to overcome the high rates of illiteracy developing a specific project in the field of adult education closely related to municipalities and communities in a model called: the territorial model. From 1990 onwards there was a radical change in policy on adult education. The 90’ represented a change and marked a specific model of adult education, characterised by its distance to communities and more centred on curricula.
