Further Education, Higher Education and the English Experiment

Glasgow, United Kingdom

University of Glasgow

Drawing on the findings of a two-year ESRC-funded study of Universal Access and Dual Regimes of Further and Higher Education, the paper will examine the impact of a two-sector system of further and higher education on strategies to widen participation in English undergraduate education. Why have efforts to expand higher education in further education settings stalled? What are the implications for democratisation of access and diversion of demand?
