Abstract: | Abstract This article examines the growth of an element of compulsion in UK adult vocational training. It traces a change from learner‐centred approaches in adult education in the nineteen‐sixties and early nineteen‐seventies, to the more employer‐focused ideas promoted by a state dominated and financed system. It explores the rationale behind the compulsion of adults on to training schemes, but questions the morality and validity of these arguments on the grounds that they will prove counter‐productive to the intellectual developments of the adults concerned in the long term. |
