Inhaltsangabe

This book aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the past, present and future of part-time education in the United Kingdom. It examines the institutions and students involved, and describes the various kinds of provision available. Current provision in the United Kingdom is related to its historical development, and compared with the position in other developed countries. By looking at higher education from a part-time perspective, the book intends to enlarge the understanding of higher education as a whole. The final part of the book attempts to do this by comparing the value of part-time and full-time forms of provision. Alternative models of higher education are explored, and the prospects for future development are reviewed. The book concludes that, while part-time education has been seriously undervalued in recent years, it offers a viable model for a significantly expanded, more flexible and more relevant higher education system in the future.
