Introductory materials are an "Introduction" (Wilhelm Mader) and "Translator's Note and Acknowledgements" (Nartin Haindorff). Three papers in Part I deal with three core professional domains: "General Adult Education" (Erhard Schlutz); "Vocational Development" (Wilfried Voigt); and "Adult Education as a Vocation: Lay Job or Profession?" (Roswitha Peters). The two papers in Part II connect political emancipation and adult education: "Feminist Target Groups as a Form of Work" (Wiltrud Gieseke) and "Labour Education" (Wolfgang Hindrichs). Part III examines the relationship of adult education with other "sciences": :"I'he Importance of Sociology for Further Education" (Wilke Thomssen); "Education Science and Adult Education" (Erhard Schlutz, Wilfried Voigt); and "Psychniooy and Adult Education" (Wilhelm Mader). Part IV explores three theoretical approaches: "Education Science and Adult Education: Theses for a Critical Relationship" (Herbert Gerl); "Experiential Approaches in Adult Education" (Guenther Holzapfel); and "The Biographical Approach to Adult Education" (Peter Alheit). An appendix includes four items by Martin Haindorff: "Ausbildung, Fortbildung, Weiterbildung"; "Bremen's Legislation on Continuing Education and Its Historical Background since 1970"; "University of Bremen: Requirements, Courses, Examination Regulations"; and a 213-item "Annotated Bibliography."

This interest was given further impetus by metings held at Pugwash, Canada in 1970, Nixdborg, Denmark in 1972, Nairobi, Kenya in 1975, Oxford, England in 1987, Rome, Italy in 1988 and lbadan, Nigeria in 1991. A number of international enanizations, ameng those Unesco, the International Bureau of Education, the International Congress of University Adult Education, the European Bureau of Adult Education. O.E.C.D., the (now defunct) European Centre for Leisure and Education, the Council of Europe, and the International Council for Adult Education have contributed their share. A growing number of universities in all five continents establishedcourses in comparative adult alucation. Many other universities encourage studentsto deal with comparative study or with the study of adult education abroad in majorpapers and theses. The literature in this area has increased considerably since the early I 960s both in support and as a result of this university activity. A number ofv aluable bibliographies were published, cataloguing the growing wealth of materials available in a number of languages. Most of the literature available on adult education in various countriescan still be found primarily in articles scattered throughout adult education and social science journals. Until a few years ago there was no commercial publisher enticing researchers to submit manuscripts of monographs dealing with comparative and case studies of adult education in various countries, even though the need for sucha publishing venture was stressed at a number of international meetings. It was with the intentto provide such service to the discipline and the field of adult education that the Centre for Continuing Education at The University of British Columbia, in cooperation with the International Council for Adult Education, decided in 1977to publish a series of Monographs on Comparative and Area Studies in Adult Education. In 1984 a major English publishing house in the field of education, Cmom Helm, decided to establish a new series, the Croorn Helm Series in International Adult Education. Dr. Peter Jarvis of the University of Surrey, an internationally recognized vi scholar and noted promoter of publishing in international adulteducation, was appointed editor of this new series. A number of volumes have beenpublished in this series since 1984 and have enriched the literature in this importantfield. The series has been taken over by Routledge and is now published asInternational Perspectives ea Adult and Continuing Education. One of the major deficits in English-language publishing on adulteducation is the dearth of materials translated from other language& This makesmuch of the significant work of our colleagues who work in languages other thanEnglish inaccessible to all but a handful of adult education researchers andFactitioners in the English-speaking world. We have auempted in a small way in this series ofmonographs to contribute towards filling this gap in the hieranireof adu'..! °Alucation. We are now pleased to bring out as the seventeenth volumein the series Adult Education iruhe FederalRepublicofGermany: ScholarlyApproaches andProfessional Praaice, prepared by the faculty members in the Department of AdultEducation at the University of Bremen, edited by Wilhelm Mader and very ablytranslated by Martin Haindorff. This volume offers the English-speaking reader animpwant opportunity of insight into the development of the conceptual basis,scholarly inquiry and professional practice of adult education in West Germany from theend of the

  • Introduction to the Jubilee School Suha Jouaneh Shahin the Jubilee
    Introduction to the Jubilee School Suha Jouaneh Shahin The Jubilee School fosters human talent, promotes cross-cultural understanding, and educates new leaders grounded in democratic values, tolerance, and community service. By enhancing students’ academic and social skills, the school creates a synthesis between education and leadership and prepares them to enter the next stage of their lives as responsible, action- oriented, knowledgeable, and engaged citizens. The School believes that these carefully selected youngsters represent their countries’ national wealth and therefore should be carefully nurtured. By offering them a unique learning experience and a curriculum tailored to their special needs and capabilities, the Jubilee School seeks to develop them into future leaders committed to serving their countries and capable of addressing the constantly shifting challenges of the Middle East Region and the world. Jubilee Institute Royal Scientific Society of Jordan AAAS John Templeton Foundation September 27–29, 2010 Presentation by MS. SUHA JOUANEH SHAHIN The Jubilee Institute—the Jubilee School and the Jubilee Center for Excellence in Education—is a major undertaking of the King Hussein Foundation (KHF) that works to sustain and build upon the late King Hussein's lifelong commitment to peace and sustainable development through programs that promote education and leadership, community development, governance, and cross-cultural understanding in Jordan and the Middle East. The Jubilee School is an independent, residential, coeducational secondary school providing a 4-year program for outstanding students with a strong commitment to scholarship.
