A Lifelong and Life-Wide Framework for Adult Literacy Education
Stephen Reder, Portland State University

Discussion questions:
In this article, Reder argues that “adult literacy education needs to be repositioned within a new framework of lifelong and life-wide learning, a framework in which new policies are formulated, programs are designed and evaluated, and research is funded and carried out” (Reder, 2020, p. 48).
· To what extent do you believe this argument also applies in the Australian context? What are some specific reasons for your response?
· Do you see similar problems in the current Australian programs that Reder sees in the US programs?
· Do you believe that a lifelong and lifewide policy is also needed in Australia? What might be some of the difficulties achieving in such a policy here?
