ACE outcomes

Helen Macrae, NVCER, Aug 21, 2003

The gist of this report is to encourage and suggest methods for the measurement of outcomes of ACE (Advanced and Continuing Education) in Australia. Based on interviews with 40 ACE providers, the report "provides a description of the full range of adult and community education (ACE) services and clients; an analysis of ACE outcomes and contributions to lifelong learning for its range of clients; and a discussion of issues that might be considered." I like the forward-looking view of ACE adopted by the authors: ACE has the potential to be "pegged back to encompass individual outcomes alone; or stretched to encompass individual, community and economic outcomes; or stretched in a different direction to focus on, or incorporate, education outcomes (such asCRLFDelor’s four pillars or Bradshaw’s six elements)."
