Product Description
The Report of the National Committee of Inquiry into Higher Education (the Dearing Committee), Higher Education in the Learning Society, is widely recognized as a major landmark in the modern history of UK higher education. This volume contributes a wide-ranging, research-based analysis of three main themes: the impact of 10 years of the Dearing Report; the process represented by the work of the National Committee of Inquiry, including in an international context; and current issues and future prospects for UK higher education policy and practice in the light of this history.
