摘要:

AbstractThe fortunes of higher education from the 1960s ‐ not a linear descent but a complex picture. How closely does the declining reputation of higher education at least in central government circles ‐ correlate with declining economic and technological performance, and how much has it been a product of other factors ‐ for example, binary policy or student radicalism? The article addresses these questions and other features of the loss of higher education's esteem across the two decades from the Robbins report to Sir Keith Joseph's Green

摘要:

AbstractThis article outlines conflicting views of the place of the DES in the making of education policy at large and higher education in particular. It demonstrates how it changes over time and in different policy contexts. It documents different views of the status of the Department within Whitehall and seeks to account for its alleged separateness from the rest of government. An analysis of the relationships with the Treasury and the PESC system is offered. The connections with policy communities and the role of DES ministers are noted. The competence of the DES is appraised, against the status accorded to non‐economic departments generally. The ability of the DES to generate stronger support for higher education is discussed in the context of the weakness of higher education as a political issu

摘要:

AbstractHigher education generally is disappointed with the media ‐ and newspapers, radio and television are not very interested in higher education. Stark statements that must be qualified and explained, but still fair headlines that sum up the unsatisfactory relationship between universities, polytechnics and colleges and the media. Of course disappointment with the media is not confined to higher education. Nor are the media often ready to accept the self‐evaluation by institutions of their own significance. But the mismatch between the expectations of higher education and the priorities of the media seems to be especially severe. The purpose of this article is to test the truth of this impression of mutual ignorance, both actual and intentional, and to discuss its consequences for the making of higher education pol

摘要:

AbstractThis article considers the role of academic standards in the wider context of the problem faced by modem societies of how to reconcile the survival and provision of elite higher education with the emergence of mass education. From the advantage of an outside perspective it examines the division between higher and further education and reflects on the implications of that separation and on the costs and consequences of the academic standards that characterise the British system of elite higher education. It considers the prospects for the emergence from further education of a truly mass system of institutions marked by lower per capita costs and lower standards standing alongside and linked with a system of higher education marked by very high academic standards. The article concludes that what is still lacking is a general recognition that all degree‐granting higher education is only a part, albeit a central part, of a broad system of post‐secondary and continuing education, marked by a diversity of standard, mission and cost, which has as its mission the advanced education of a whole society and not just its leaders
