Description

<p>  The purpose of this paper is to consider the learning systems which support women re-entering higher education or employment after living as housewives. I focused on the Fresh Horizons program in London, England, which was introduced by Enid Hutchinson.</p><p>  The Fresh Horizons program has two aims. One is to help adult learners, including women, to access into higher education. Another is to support women to make a fresh start after taking care of children. Today, however, the second aim is disappearing because of the educational policy of the British Government. But I wish to emphasize the importance of the second aim for women.</p><p>  First, I examine the relationship between Enid Hutchinson and Fresh Horizons. She had broad experience as a housewife, mother and as an adult educator. The Fresh Horizons program was the fruition of her experience and educational practices.</p><p>  Second, the Fresh Horizons program is analyzed and it is pointed out that this program supports women in making a fresh start. Two characteristics of the program are pointed out. First, it lays stress the process of learning. Secondly, it raises women's consciousness for liberation.</p><p>  Finally, I conclude that the importance of this learning system lies in making the best of women's experiences and developing their self-esteem. It is also important that tutors who give education advice and supports to women's exist.</p>
