摘要:

AbstractThe Report of the Scottish Tertiary Education Advisory Council (STEAC), published in December 1985, has proposed that in the northern part of the United Kingdom there should be an alternative to the binary system of higher education, with both the universities and the public sector being planned for and financially controlled by the same body. That suggestion has been welcomed by many Scottish interests, but has raised fears in the majority of university staff, who see a danger of their being cut off from their counterparts elsewhere in the UK.This article contends that the fears are not essentially Scottish in nature, and that the greatest danger to universities in any system of joint planning and finding is that the body responsible would be bound to take steps to reduce the inequalities which exist between the two sectors. What STEAC has proposed for Scotland should be considered for England and Wales too; the Scottish situation only presents an easier opportunity to achieve it.The author is not wholly optimistic however. His analysis of the decisions taken in July 1986 by the Secretary of State for Scotland perceives political lobbying as having been of great influence on the outcome of the recommendations dealt with at that time. He wonders whether politicians will withstand the greater lobbying power of the universities against the main STEAC proposal.

摘要:

AbstractThe development of a planning body for public sector higher education in England has created the potentiality for an integrated planning approach to university and non‐university higher education.

The contrasting relationships between the Department of Education and Science and the two planning bodies is discussed and the need for further developments of the planning machinery debated. The arrangements for Wales and Scotland are also discusse

摘要:

AbstractA review of lost opportunities suggests that now must be when higher education develops a serious commitment to continuing education, as must other necessary partners‐employers, professional bodies and government. Present provision lacks a coherent framework, is confusing, ill‐co‐ordinates and less than cost effective. The potential of the joint NAB/UGC initiative as a force for development is considered: the unequal commitment of the two major sectors of higher education may be its weakness. Other models are considered with particular attention given to the possibility of the Manpower Services Commission, through its Adult Training Strategy, coming to dominate higher education as it now does non‐advanced further ed
