The Canadian Council on L:earning has released a report urging a focus on adult learning. While I agree with the idea that we should promote a "learning culture" I simply don't see it as a problem that "two-thirds of Canadians do not take part in any formal learning activities." We don't need classes any more, we just need good access to the internet, some relevant online resources, and the time to use them. And while I agree that "There are clear and well-substantiated links between lifelong learning, productivity and innovation," I don't like the focus on adult learners as "workers". People should be encouraged to learn because it improves their lives, not because it makes them more productive.
