After more than a century of being undervalued, further education
has been thrust into the limelight. How have the colleges fared?
How have they been shaped by the new arrangements for funding,
governance, inspection and the new qualifications framework? What
do those running the colleges and working in them make of the
changes? What are their prospects for the new millennium?
Further Education Reformed is the definitive account of where
further education has got to and where it might be heading.
Containing specifically commissioned papers by some of the most
respected academics currently working in the field of further
education, this book draws the situation as it is now and looks
forward to the developments of the coming years. It will be vital
reading for anyone concerned with further education in particular,
and education in general, whether as a policy-maker, governor,
manager, teacher, employer or student.
Former Secretary of State for Education Kenneth Baker claims that
secondary education has become a five-year programme with a single,
narrow aim: to prepare pupils for high-stakes GCSE exams at 16.
From 2015, all young people will be legally required to stay in
education or training until they are 18. Kenneth Baker sees this as
a historic opportunity to re-think the aims and structure of
English education. He argues that the National Curriculum should
extend only to the age of 14 and that there should be four distinct
pathways from 14-18 to take account of young people's emerging
interests talents and ambitions: Liberal Arts; Technical; Sports
and Creative Arts; and Career. All pathways will provide a broad
education, but each will have a distinctive character matched to
the talents and ambitions of individual students. In 14-18 - A New
Vision for Secondary Education, Kenneth Baker builds a compelling
case for reform, with contributions from a range of educationalists
who draw on the history of English education, practice elsewhere in
the world, and their experiences. An essential read for anyone
interested in the future of secondary education.
