    Continuing professional education at the University of the Western Cape - survey results
    (University of the Western Cape, 1997) Koetsier, Jos; Walters, Shirley
    UWC has since 1998 a new Mission Statement which commits the university to Lifelong Learning. Since 1996 there has been a process to give content to this commitment. The process included surveys of distance education and resource-based learning at UWC, continuing professional education and an overall report with recommendations on Lifelong Learning by 2001. This report is a further component of the investigation into lifelong learning which highlights specifically the situation of Continuing Professional Education in all faculties, School and Centres and how to quality assure the programmes. The report formulates recommendations to increase enrolments and how to acquire full accreditation through the South African Qualification Authority (SAQA). It recommends the development of an institutional CPE policy and course database in line with this goal.

    Social movements, class, and adult education
    (Wiley, 2005) Walters, Shirley
    Social movements are movements of people in civil society who cohere around issues and identities that they themselves define as significant (Martin, 1999). The following quotation describes a group of poor women in South Africa, a group calling itself People’s Dialogue, who are mobilizing around their need for houses. They are part of a social movement of women and men internationally who are collectively struggling for access to land and houses.
