Extract

This paper centres on the theme of adult learning by reporting through specific illustration how a small group of mature students successfully got over the formal learning hurdle of education when faced with pre-tertiary syllabus components. The study also presents a concrete breakdown and examples of the students’ approach to work or, to use Christie's phrase again, of the “product goals” they were aiming at.
