Abstract
What actually is community education? How does it differ from education in the community, or education for community? We explore the theory of community education and some examples of practice using resources from the encyclopedia of informal education.
In England, and many other countries, community education has tended to be wrapped up with the idea of community schooling and especially the pioneering work of Henry Morris around village colleges. More recently, however, there has been a growth of interest in the related idea of full-service schooling and of new community schools . With this has come a deepening of community education theory and practice.
