Published in 1993, this book considers the needs of older teenage
students and the various forms of provision made for them. The
16-19 sector of education is a transition stage for students and a
system in transition for educators. At a time of rapid change the
author assesses the significance of current trends and recent
legislation for managers, teachers and lecturers in schools and
colleges catering for this age group. Eric Macfarlane argues that
the 16-19 sector provides both a microcosm and intensification of
the tensions, divisions and conflicting aims and objectives present
throughout the education system as a whole. He explores the
differences that exist between the academic and vocational routes
to qualification, between the comprehensive, selective and
independent systems and between 'traditional' and 'progressive'
approaches to the learning process. The ideologies and policies
that have produced the present system are traced and the case for
reform examined. Different management tasks in 16-19 education are
considered, with emphasis on current changes in strategies and
structures. The book highlights the distinctive features of the
various types of institution that provide for students aged 16-19
and the ways in which these distinctions are becoming blurred. The
final chapters consider the future of 16-19 provision and the
particular impact of the 1992 Further and Higher Education Act.
