This document reports on a project which has been investigating further education provision for older people in the State of Victoria. The project has been supported through the Active Seniors Grants Scheme of Sport and Recreation, Victoria and the Victorian Adult Community and Further Education Board (ACFEB). The project involved four major phases during 1995: 1. The creation of an annotated bibliography; 2. A series of fifteen focus groups held state-wide; 3. A survey of 580 sites providing learning programs for adults in Victoria; and 4. A symposium including older adults where major findings and potential recommendations were presented and then discussed and/or ratified. Major issues which have emerged from the study include: Relatively lower levels of funding to support older adult learning; Significant difficulties in acquiring and sharing resources; the unrecognised degree of voluntarism amongst older adults; The lower levels of participation in learning activities in some ACFE regions (particularly in rural areas); The under-representation of certain groups such as migrants, men and carers; and The need to consider how technology can be used to enhance older adults' learning. The report discusses benefits for, and barriers to, older people's participation in learning, and concludes with a model which demonstrates where barriers to older adult learning may occur. Show less
