The Guardian corrects obituary of Eric Midwinter after misstating his role in founding U3A
The Guardian has amended its obituary of Eric Midwinter, the educationist and writer who died in August aged 93, after misstating his role in the origins of the University of the Third Age (U3A).
The original obituary, published on August 30, stated that Midwinter co-founded the international U3A in 1992. In fact, he was among the founders of the UK movement in 1982, drawing on a model first developed in France in the 1970s.

The original story stated that students were continuing their education in Yellowknife Education District No. 1.
