Managing the integration of post-secondary education

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Challenging Boundaries is a key resource for managers, researchers, and policy makers in the fields of Higher Education and Further Education. Around the world, post-compulsory education is divided between Universities and Community-based Colleges. However, in response to a range of social and economic forces there has been a growth in the number of dual sector institutions (or "duals") that span this divide. Challenging Boundaries brings together leading international thinkers, policy analysts, academic managers, and researchers who question whether duals can provide relevant education to students and appropriate graduates for the economy, while also offering greater opportunities to disadvantaged students.
