Lifelines to learning Available to Purchase

‘Lifelines’ for short: the title that, since October 1975, has demarcated BBC Radio's adult education programmes (weekdays 6.30 — 7.30 pm medium wave) from the surrounding, and quite different, culture of Radio 3. Successor to the seemingly more demanding, and perhaps more peremptory, Study on 3, Lifelines witnesses to the prevailing new emphasis on the provision of learning stimuli for the non‐joiners, the educationally disadvantaged and disaffected. It no longer assumes ready motivation to study, but anticipates willingness — and ability — to learn, at least so long as that learning is life‐orientated rather than subject‐dominated.
