The Adult Learner: A Neglected Species

"The Adult Learner: A Neglected Species" highlights how adult education often receives less attention compared to children's learning. Adults have different needs, motivations, and challenges when it comes to learning new skills or knowledge. This book emphasizes that lifelong learning is essential for personal growth and adapting to a changing world, yet many educational systems and programs overlook adults’ unique requirements. Recognizing and supporting adult learners can lead to more effective education, greater career opportunities, and ongoing personal development, making them a vital, but often underappreciated, part of the learning landscape.
