Competence and higher education: Implications for institutions and professional bodies

Change and Intervention: Vocational Education and Training
Journal · pp. 22-46
Abstract

The consequences of nearly twelve years of Thatcherism have been felt in virtually every aspect of life in the UK, and after experiencing the savage rounds of ‘cuts’ during the 1980s, the universities no longer feel immune from the demands of the market economy. With the loss of the premium in overseas student fees, lower levels of funding, new forms of acceptability and the necessity to explore new sources of income merely to survive, Higher Education has been forced — and continues to be forced — to review its policy and practice. © Peter Raggatt and Lorna Unwin 1991.
