The theme of this article is to look at the societal nature of adult learning and hence, the societal functions of adult education. We want to emphasize the historical dimension in the sense of linking adult education to the socioeconomic, political, and cultural context. Adult Education and Modernization We can distinguish three main types of adult education defined by their main content. These have developed as educational traditions in their own right, related to particular areas of learning.
