CONTESTED LANDSCAPE: International Perspectives on Diversity in Mass Higher Education - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

As more countries move towards mass - or even 'universal' - systems of higher education, institutions other than traditional universities have an increasingly important part to play in its provision. A contested landscape explores these processes of change, reflecting on the shifting role of these institutions and their distinctive traditions, in countries throughout the world. The book contains chapters from experts commenting - often critically - on the systems emerging in England, the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, and Scotland. Each offers valuable insight into the contribution of institutions from the traditional vocational education and training sectors to the new higher education, and explores the developing links between 'short-cycle' higher education and degree level courses. This collection will be of key importance to those interested in the development of systems of post-compulsory education and training. A contested landscape not only offers an overview of the diversity of provision and providers that constitute current higher education, but also provides a foundation for international comparative analysis.
