| Abstract | A study examined the attitudes of unemployed persons to a range of community-based liberal adult education courses that were organized with their involvement by the Pioneer Work project of the University of Leeds. (Since its inception in 1982, the Pioneer Work project has organized series of 8- to 10-week courses using the community, institutional, organizational, and trade union approaches.) Of the 76 students who participated in the research, 82 percent had left school at the minimum age and more than 90 percent had no experience in higher education. All of the courses covered by the survey were organized with local or issue-based groups and/or other paid workers and agencies. Ninety-three percent of those surveyed wanted their existing courses to continue, even though the courses in question do not provide qualifications or training or lead to jobs. As a result of the liberal courses taken, 42 percent of the participants were progressing to other types of education and others become active in the community as a result of the courses that they took. Nevertheless, the students' responses made it clear that they feel an urgent need for more community-based vocationally-oriented and qualifications-based courses. Appendixes include guidelines for working with tenants and community groups; profiles of two women's discussion groups; and the student, tutor, and longitudinal questionnaires. (MN) |
