GLOBAL/LOCAL LEARNING
WORDS : 3280
TOPIC: Using Holst’s perspectives, write an essay in which you analyse critically global and local developments which shaped a government’s responses to adult education in a society of your choice under conditions of globalization. Make some comparisions with government’s responses to adult education in post -1994 South Africa under conditions of globalization.
Draw on the literature, in particular Holst’s analysis of a longer version of globalisation/Marxist political economy perspective of adult education or a strong version of globalisation/civil societarian perspective on adult education, and ideas which you have developed during this part of the course.
Holst’s critique of both perspectives in adult education raises weaknesses for analyses of adult education under conditions of globalisation and calls for ‘a new conceptualisation of the politics of radical adult education that goes beyond the two broad perspectives of civil societarian and Marxist orientations ..........’ (Holst, 2007: 7). With reference to the latter, discuss the academic challenges which may be required to develop a new conceptualisation of the politics of radical adult education.

I will furthermore elaborate on the “calls for a new conceptualization of the politics of radical adult education that goes beyond the two broad perspectives of civil societarian and Marxist orientations.”
Section 1 will present the broad understanding of global and local socio-economic and political developments that shaped the...
