Description
In the UK, the end of the binary line has meant an immediate increase in the number of universities, with added pressures on those institutions. But how far has the system really changed to meet the new challenges - and the old ones? This book examines changes in the student population, in teaching and learning processes, in funding, leadership and organizational styles. It places these in a broad international context, with contributions drawing on experience from North America, Australasia, Africa, Europe and the World Bank. It includes a perspective from further education and a look back at the last 30 years in UK higher education.
