Cinderella sector needs better outfit

Article Abstract:

A report on education and participation in the United Kingdom argues that more attention should be paid to the role of further education. The report, by Helena Kennedy, sees further education as important in promoting social cohesion as well as economic regeneration. She is concerned that too much emphasis on the market could hamper the social role of further education, if colleges focus on students most likely to achieve good grades. She argues that labor unions and employers should co-operate to encourage learning in the workplace.

Rich seam at interface: the happy coupling of further and higher education could give birth to a funding council merger

Article Abstract:

The Dearing committee is to analyse the overlap between further and higher education, and the merger of the two funding councils has not been ruled out. The committee is to assess various options including the two-plus-two system, which enables students to do two years in a college, and then move to a university to finish the degree course. A table explaining various terms is included.
