The transition to more just and sustainable development requires radical change across a wide range of areas and particularly within the nexus between learning and work. This book takes an expansive view of vocational education and training that goes beyond the narrow focus of much of the current literature and policy debate. Drawing on case studies across rural and urban settings in Uganda and South Africa, the book offers a new way of seeing this issue through an exploration of the multiple ways in which people learn to have better livelihoods. Crucially, it explores learning that takes place informally online, within farmers’ groups, and in public and private educational institutions. Offering new insights and ways of thinking about this field, the book draws out clear implications for theory, policy and practice in Africa and beyond.

Sam lives at home with his loving parents, sisters and brother. England is at peace at last, following the ravages of the Second World War, and is about to witness the advent of The Beatles and the social revolution of the 1960s. As a boy, Sam loves riding his bike and playing in the large family garden. But beneath this happy exterior, there are things going round in Sam's head which terrify him, which he can share with no-one and which he continues to carry through his adolescent years and into manhood. Spanning several decades, Further Up the Beach is a profoundly moving story of personal identity, family life and intergenerational love and conflict. With powerful themes of social class, aspiration and a search for emotional intimacy between males, we go hand in hand with Sam in this unflinching, poignant and ultimately optimistic tale.
