Abstract
This year we mark a major adult education centenary: the publication, in November 1919, of the Final Report of the British Ministry of Reconstruction’s Adult Education Committee. This was a landmark in our field – probably the first major official report on adult education in any country to be based on serious empirical research. More important, perhaps, it set out a strong political case for a broad – lifelong and lifewide – adult education curriculum as essential for democratic citizenship.
