As the old saying goes, "If you are determined to learn, no-one can stop you." With a long and decorated career in higher education, there are few people who could claim to know that fact better than Dr Gaye Manwaring.

In this book, Gaye reveals the many ways in which the world of education has changed and developed over the past few decades. Drawing on examples from her varied experiences in the field, she considers how approaches to learning have evolved by examining not just the education sector in the UK, but in several different countries across the world.

From her own formative experiences in the British education system through to her award-winning university career, Gaye explains the vital importance of lifelong learning and explores the changing ways that education is continuing to empower lives and encourage exciting new approaches.
