Read the passage below and answer the questions (71-75) based on your understandings of the passage.
Globalisation is present everywhere in our lives. It is part of casual conversations, political discourse, economic debates and cultural deliberations. But as for concepts like social stratification, knowledge gap, winners and losers in a knowledge based society, users and losers in digital space, Europe has tight lips.
We are reluctant and embarrassed to discuss poverty. It is easier to place such misfortunate developments in the third world and avoid explanation of our own touchy problems. When in the late 1950’s, a stormy debate on equal and unequal education opportunities unfolded very few people expected this problem to augment and become a burning social issue during the first decades of the 21st century. In the area of education sciences, adult educators are those who give a lot of attention to inequalities and social exclusion, especially in the context of access to learning opportunities. They are particularly sensitive to this problem for a number of reasons. First, all systemic errors are acutely visible in the form of individual deficits which are revealed when graduates of different schools take up new social roles as job seekers or prospective employees, and many are not able to find employment.
Across Europe, adult education in celebrated as a remedy to all social problems, including marginalisation, exclusion and poverty. It is expected to counteract social polarisation, but it is polarised as strongly as the society. The belief that social deprivation may occur only ‘be tone’ or ‘on the side of’ adult learning was upheld for decades but it turned out to be deceptive.
