Rationale
The existence of the interest group is justified by the fact that while both the fields of higher and adult education requires specialist inquiry, they are closely related to other fields of education. While the interest group thus focuses on the challenges and relevant problems of higher and adult education, its focus is relatively broad. It is important for us not to plan and work in isolation from the broader field of education as co-operation and mutual inquiry might be beneficial to both. It also seems imperative to continuously reflect on research and other priorities that might direct or influence the work of the Centre and the Department of Curriculum Studies both inside and outside of Stellenbosch University.
