Category: Publications
A brief report on a project commissioned by Adult Learning Australia (ALA) to investigate future directions for lifelong learning in Australia. This project involved a discussion paper released in December 2004, consultations in all states during March/April 2005, and a National Conversation on Lifelong Learning conducted through the ALA website. The key finding from the consultations and research was that lifelong learning is poorly understood in Australia, and that this acts as a barrier to concerted partnership action by all stakeholders in progressing opportunities for learning throughout life for all Australians.

This report summaries an extensive study of adult literacy policies and practices in vocational education in six countries - Canada, New Zealand, United States, Ireland, United Kingdom and Australia. The policies and programs of the six countries were compared across policy contexts and concepts, program development and delivery, and regulatory frameworks, product development and quality assurance. Australia, compared to the other countries studied, has a strong focus on the integration of literacy with vocational education and training (VET) standards and national qualifications, and a relatively advanced quality assurance system. To build further on literacy policy and practice, the authors suggest providing national leadership, expanding national research and referral programs, expanding flexible funding arrangements and continuing to develop diverse delivery modes, promoting consistent reporting and quality assurance, and building the capability of the existing teaching workforce.
