Very few students with vocational qualifications progress into the
world of Higher Education. Many drop out of education altogether
and take up entry level jobs with decreased financial prospects.
This trend is worrying as the lack of students with vocational
backgrounds applying to University acts as a barrier to social
mobility.This book, informed by the research findings from
Transforming Transitions - a collaborative project involving
further education colleges, sixth form centres and Universities -
addresses key concerns such as the background of those with
vocational qualifications, the success of these students at
university and any issues they may encounter in higher education.
By analysing national datasets and conducting interviews with
students and tutors across sixth form colleges and Universities,
this important text discusses the socio-economic benefits gained
from the vocational provision and transition to higher education.
By highlighting the need to develop inclusive pedagogies and
proposing practical recommendations, this book will prove to be an
invaluable resource for Educational leaders, researchers and
practitioners in higher education.
