The English experiment
To break the traditional pattern of demand for
English undergraduate education based on:
• the first degree
• full-time study
• the institution of higher education
Policy I: steered expansion
• target-led (50%)
• public-private
• more-different-wider
Policy II: new qualification
• standard model
• dual functions
• three partners
Policy II: college contribution
• mission, near-normal
• indirect, direct
• some, not all
Semi-compulsory partnerships
collaboration v competition
short-order v short-life
dependency v maturity
policy v demography
sector v system
