The Report of the National Committee of Inquiry into Higher
Education chaired by Sir Ron Dearing was published in July 1997. It
represents the first officially sponsored systematic examination of
higher education since the Robbins report over 25 years ago. The
book is an authoritative evaluation of the cogency, relevance and
prospects for success of the Dearing vision and recommendations.
Like the members of the Committee, the authors have sought to take
a holistic view; to consider the underlying implications of genuine
lifelong learning for the university system, and how institutions
and the system as a whole will need to adjust to realize its full
potential. The outcomes are threefold: a description of what a UK
higher education system that is genuinely part of a national
learning society might look like, as well as the impetus this
provides for radical reform: identification of features of its
historical (especially recent) development, as well as wider social
forces, which might inhibit or encourage its performance in this
way; and assessment of the coherence, desirability and practicality
of the Dearing proposals in bringing about this end.
