The Debate on Higher Education


SUGGESTED

Energy and Environment
Education

In this challenging paper Dr Dick Atkinson asks why local education authorities are needed. Finding reasons lacking, he puts forward a proposal for all schools to be self-governing and thereby removed from the debilitating effects of politicised education.

With higher education in the UK at a critical juncture in its history, two leading commentators offer new perspectives on the fundamentals of this on-going debate. Seville examines the implications of ‘modularity’ , while Tooley presents a comprehensive critique of government intervention in the university system, questioning whether the state has to be involved at all.
